Lyric The Reason

(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

CHORUSDon 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
