Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Because I don' want to leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine But you know that I called you I called too many times You can call me baby You can call me anytime But you got to call me Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Because I don't want to leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I just want someone to hold me and rock me through night This youthful heart can love you And give you what you need This youthful heart can love you And give you what you need But I'm too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Because I don't want to leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind Baby just give me one reason Give me just one reason why Baby just give me one reason Give me just one reason why I should stay Said I told you that I loved you And there ain't no more to say

Tracy Chapman interpretou "Give Me One Reason" pela primeira vez em sua turnê de 1988, sete anos antes de o single ser oficialmente lançado.
O acompanhamento de Tracy Chapman no Saturday Night Live em 16 de dezembro de 1989 incluiu uma performance dessa canção anos antes de seu sucesso comercial.
A balada finalmente se tornou o maior hit de Chapman nos Estados Unidos, atingindo a terceira posição na Billboard Hot 100.
Embora tenha alcançado o número três na Austrália, a música liderou as paradas musicais tanto no Canadá quanto na Islândia.
No Reino Unido, o desempenho da faixa foi considerado fraco em comparação com outros territórios, picando apenas na 95ª posição em março de 1997.
Tracy Chapman venceu o Grammy de Melhor canção de rock por esta faixa em 1997, além de ter recebido indicações para Gravação do Ano, Canção do Ano e Melhor Performance Vocal Feminina de Rock.
