Set my sails out on a sunny day Pretty soon i was on my way Though what for sure it was I could not say Two thousand reasons Maybe more Eight hundred chances on faraway shores Searching for something Searching for more Deep down inside me burning Reasons for the learning Now you can pick up reasons so easily Where you've been and where you've got to be And when the truth don't show you'll always see Lots of reasons And pretty soon you've got a heavy load Dragging those reasons down an endless road I got to thinking and i got to see So many reasons coming at me The one that leaves you high and dry He says you still owe him, there's a reason why He'll leave you crying till the tears run dry He's the one, always the one with all the reasons So many reasons the come and they go The reasons for them i'll never know I've seen so many, they've come and they've gone I've turned all mine in and i'm happy with one So don't talk of friendship, do it to me Make me an offer and make it for free Don't give me reasons ''cause i wrote that song I only want love now so i'll just take the one
