(As sung by Qui-Gon Jinn to Yoda in the Jedi Apprentice series era)

Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Said he don't wanna join the Ag Corps
You've gotta make me change my mind

The boy's got too much anger, like that ol' padawan of mine
Yoda, you just nagged me, you nagged too many times
You can tell me maybe, you can tell me that it's time
But you can't force me

Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Said he don't wanna join the Ag Corps
You've gotta make me change my mind

I don't want the boy to need me -- he might take away my faith
I don't want the boy to need me -- he might take away my faith
I just want someone to trust me and help me through this fight

This youthful heart can train him and give him what he needs
I said, this youthful heart can train him and give him what he needs
But I'm too old to go chasing him around
Wasting my light side energy

Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Give me one reason to take him, and I'll train this padawan
Said he don't wanna join the Ag Corps
You've gotta make me change my mind

Yoda, just give me one reason to take him -- oh, give me just one reason why
Yoda, just give me one reason to take him -- oh, give me just one reason why
I should take him
Because if I told you that I'd train him
Then there ain't no more to say
