The Reason - Carly Simon

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

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…
