The Reason Lyrics by Carly Simon

The Reason Lyrics

    (carly simon/danny kortchmar)

    The reason i wouldn’t kiss you last night
    I wouldn;t kiss you ‘cause i was afriad
    That i’d like you too much
    And if i 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 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
    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 that it would lead to passion
    And if we got too drunk
    We might fall out of the bunk
    And then i;d be afriad
    We would have a concussion

    Chorus

    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
    When you look for the reason
    The reason, i can give you a reason
    And maybe you’ll think
    It’s a really good reason
    But i come up with the 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 house 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 never felt so...never felt so...
    Never felt so...
    Hot
