| 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 'cos I wrote that song
|
| I only want love now so I’ll just take the one |
