Carly Simon - The Reason

What about a holiday, just the eight os us
You and me and all the stones
Wouldn't want to leave them out
Coudn't find a nicer bunch
But you can't expect them to
Navigate the bolevards on their own
Those sweet Rolling Stones
Gosh, we better go hold their hands
While they cross the street

The reason I wouldn't kiss you last night
I wouldn't kiss yhou 'cause I was afraid
That I'd like you too much
And I'd 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 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 it would lead to passion
And if we got too drunk
And then I'd be afraid
We could have a concussion

The reason, there's always a reason
behind the 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 belong, in your heart

The reason, there's always a reason
behind the 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

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 dejá
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, never felt so
Hot
