8 Good Reasons

Sinead O'Connor

"I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss"

Don't know if I should quite sing this song

Don't know if it maybe might be wrong

But then again, it maybe might be right

To tell you about the bullet and the red light...

You know I'm not from this place

I'm from a different time and a different space

And it's real uncomfortable

To be stuck somewhere you don't belong...

I had a dream one night

About a bullet and a red light

You know, it felt all right

It actually felt quite nice

(Whisper)

If I could've gone, without hurting anyone

Like a child, I would have found my mum

Like a bird I would've made and flown

You know, I don't much like life

I don't mind admitting that it ain't right

You know I love to make music

But my head got wrecked by the business

Everybody wants something from me

They rarely ever just want to know me

I became the stranger no one sees

Cut glass, I crawl upon my knees

But, I've got eight good reasons to stick around

Eight good reasons

Well, maybe nine now....

I had a dream one night

About a bullet and a red light

You know, it actually felt quite nice

But, I've got eight good reasons to stick around

Eight good reasons

Well, maybe nine now....
