"Refuse To Be The Reason" lyrics
[Nathan Morris (Boyz II Men):]
So let me get this right
You call yourself saying goodbye
With no good reason why
(You didn't even try) to work it out
(This time) Before you walk out the door
(Walk out the door)
You really really need to be sure
We've been here before but now
It's funny you don't want this anymore
[Shawn Stockman:]
But I remember when over and over again
With all the craziness you put me through
I shoulda been done with you
[Boyz II Men (Shawn Stockman):]
Well, okay, if love is not a reason to stay
Then it really doesn't matter anyway
Why should I give it my all, when you're giving up? (Oh no)
Just so you know, everything ain't always been everything
But I was still willing to give anything, I mean anything
But I refuse to be the reason why you're gone
Oh oh oh oh
[Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men):]
Now I ain't gonna lie
All my friends say I'm outta my mind
'Cause I spent all my time (and my paper)
When they said you weren't worth a dime
I thought they were wrong
But they were right all along
I can't believe it, look what you're doing
You're trying to ruin everything that we made so strong
[Shawn Stockman:]
But I remember when over and over again
With all the craziness you put me through
I shoulda been done with you
[Boyz II Men (Shawn Stockman):]
Well, okay, if love is not a reason to stay (Said it don't matter)
Then it really doesn't matter anyway (Tell me why should I)
Why should I give it my all, when you're giving up?
Just so you know (So you know) everything ain't always been everything
But I was still willing to give anything, I mean anything
(But I was willing to give all of me I mean everything)
But I refuse to be the reason why you're gone
[Wanya Morris:]
Tell me why, why did you stay so long
If you, you knew that you felt this way?
(That you felt this way)
And if I knew I wouldn't have wasted my time on you
(Now you're free, now you're free) To do what you want to do
[Boyz II Men (Wanya Morris):]
Well, okay, if love is not a reason to stay
(It doesn't matter, girl)
Then it really doesn't matter anyway (No, it don't)
Why should I give it my all? (Why should I give you my everything?)
Just so you know, everything ain't always been everything (No)
But I was still willing to give anything, I mean anything
But I refuse to be the reason
(I refuse to be the reason why you're leaving me)
Well, okay, if love is not a reason to stay
Then it really doesn't matter anyway
(Why should I give you my all when you're giving up?)
Just so you know, everything ain't always been everything
But I was so willing to give you anything, I mean anything, yeah
But I refuse to be reason why you're gone
[Wanya Morris:]
Why you're gone gone, gone, oh oh oh
It's not my fault
This time why you're leaving me
Oh oh oh yes, I refuse to be the reason why you're gone
So let me get this right
You call yourself saying goodbye
With no good reason why
(You didn't even try) to work it out
(This time) Before you walk out the door
(Walk out the door)
You really really need to be sure
We've been here before but now
It's funny you don't want this anymore
[Shawn Stockman:]

With all the craziness you put me through
I shoulda been done with you

Why you're gone gone, gone, oh oh oh
It's not my fault
This time why you're leaving me
Oh oh oh yes, I refuse to be the reason why you're gone
