Carly Simon - THE REASON lyrics

The reason I wouldn’t kiss you last night

I wouldn't kiss you ‘cause I was afraid

That I would like it too much

And if I liked it too much

I’d be afraid that I’d give you a present

And if I gave you a gift

You might give me a gift

And then I’d be afraid

That I wouldn’t like it

The reason, there’s always a reason

Behind the reason

When you look for a reason

A reason, I can give you a reason

And maybe you’ll think

It’s a really good reason

But I come up with the reasons

You asked me if I’d scratch your back

Well, I wouldn’t scratch it

‘Cause I was afraid that I might twist your arm

And if I twisted your arm

I’d be afraid that it could lead to passion

And if we got too drunk

We might fall out of the bunk

And then I'd be afraid

We could have a concussion

The reason, there’s always a reason

Behind the reason

When you look for a reason

A reason, I can tell you a reason

And maybe you’ll think

It’s a really good reason

But I come up with the reasons

Don’t ever live with your real love

Stop before it starts

Real love will last much longer

Stay stronger

Living in your heart

Yeah, that’s where it belongs, in your heart

The reason, there’s always a reason

Behind the reason

If you look for a reason

The reason, I'll tell you a reason

And maybe you’ll think

I can give you a reason

Though I'm not really sure if there's ever a reason

I’ll never have another chance

At the Parson’s dance

(He’s gonna spank me)

Gotta be an apple tree growing in the field

Gotta be at Frankie’s place right now

Gotta be at Danny’s house deja

Gotta meet a holy man

He’ll be in the valley when Amelia tries to land

(With his shirt off)

I can never be in love, I can only be in heat

And I've never felt so...never felt so...

Never felt so...

Hot
