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'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 pa**ion And if we got too drunk We might fall out of the bunk And then I'd be afraid We would have a concussion 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 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 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 Felt so never, felt so never Never felt so hot
