The Reason

Carly Simon

    Continues after the ad

    What about a holiday, just the eight os us
    You and me and all the stones
    Wouldn't want to leave them out
    Coudn't find a nicer bunch
    But you can't expect them to
    Navigate the bolevards on their own
    Those sweet Rolling Stones
    Gosh, we better go hold their hands
    While they cross the street

    The reason I wouldn't kiss you last night
    I wouldn't kiss yhou 'cause I was afraid
    That I'd like you too much
    And I'd liked you 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 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

    Continues after the ad

    You asked me if I'd scratch your back
    I wouldn't scratch it
    'Cause I was afraid that I'd twist your arm
    And if I twisted your arm
    I'd be afraid it would lead to passion
    And if we got too drunk
    And then I'd be afraid
    We could have a concussion

    The reason, there's always a reason
    behind the 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

    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 belong, in your heart

    The reason, there's always a reason
    behind the 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

    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 house right now
    Gotta be at Danny's house dejá
    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
