I prefer yellow roses to daisies
I'll take the mountains over a postcard view
I'll order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
That's why I chose him over you
I like to love somebody handsome rather than ugly
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Well I don't know how I ever did without him
And I don't understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when you're happy
So go ahead and think just what you want to
But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Just some of the reasons I chose him over you
Oh over you

You can steal my eyes
Carve them out, I don’t even need them
I don’t wanna see anyone other than you

You cover your face,
you’re afraid to see the outcome
It’s more than anyone person can bare

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You pierce my heart, it´s useless
I don’t really need it
It belongs to nobody other than you

You can cut off my tongue, I’m speechless, a defeatist
And I’m wasting away, to nothing at your feet

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I’m here all alone
And you take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

I’m hollowed out, can’t you see?
You’ve ripped out my soul right from under me
Have little to show for anything
It’s everything you hoped for

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I’m here all alone
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

(uh uh) it's a Saturday night,
Full crew stepping at the function,
Keith Lawrence is a weapon of mass destruction,
Brixton DJ and he played the funk son ,
A local hero, yo but now he ain't unsung,
Jimmy brought rum, he looking for clean cups,
no snacks here you won't be dancing on peanuts,
strictly hot food, keep you nice and strong,
so you can go on and on and last long,
everytime I hear this song, this song,
I will be played deep brown, the place teared down
dangerous on the door seen it all before,
coats and bags on the floor by the decks,
me next to DJ, I carry the swing,
fellow his eyes are closed as he exercising, ???
everybody move a moving, in a unified swing,
gentle up and down fingertips rolling salsa

Mark and Devo in the corner, heading on in by the speaker,
dressed cool never known to freak,
outside by the pool on chairs and bars stools,
are the lovers long term manually discovered,
some for romance, sum in each others pants,
sum debutantes with pool side veterans,
what better than you catch a cross delta,
and grab a kiss with the moon, that's the number whata
food still hot cause your pots still steaming,
Casey screaming, he's not doing the cleaning,
while he's leaning back with a large grin left,
after him party would simply start again,

This is how I make the party sway,
Yo I got more styles than Amsterdam got ashtrays,
I blaze in the shadows with my compardres,
Cause I stay close to home where I'm known to praise,
i was raised down south where running your mouth is something my people know all about,
it's a semi professional pastime, gotta get the last line, you know its your shout

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without reason
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without reason

Little children don't you feel so sad
When you come home feeling lost and bad
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Oh woman, I gave my heart to you
When I found out what you've been through
You got a reason, oh you got a reason

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go

Without a reason in my heart
How could you know?
(I know)
When they find you crying sorrows tears
And it's too late after all these years
You got a reason, gimme that reason
It's boys be strong and girls be weak
But children, careful how you speak
You got a reason, gimme that reason

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and don't you know?

I believe in love
I believe in you baby
What about love?
Give it to me, you gotta give me a reason baby

Little children don't you feel so bad
When you come home feeling lost and sad
You gotta reason
Believe it in your heart and it will show

Now, Im craving your body,
Is this real
Temperatures rising, I dont want to feel
Im in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and im; longing to love you
Just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a-wont disappear

Oooh! and- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was neer decide

No longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons

After all the reasons lo-ove was neer decide

[1] - Give me the reason to love you

Sitting in here thinking about you
And all the joy you bring oh baby
I just can't live without you
Cause your love means everything

[Repeat 1]

Honey I've got to tell you
Just how you make me feel
Oh baby my love will never leave you
Cause I will be right here

And you know that I would do anything
Not to lose your love, not to lose your love
Cause your love gives me the reason
And I want you more each day

You brighten up my darkest day
The reason to love you more

[Repeat 2 til end of song]

watch the water feed the soil
so the circle is complete
see what you have become
is the earth beneath my feet

i'll bring in the stains
your alabaster feet
what's the space between
what you want and what you need

so you'll never be lonely again
never be lonely again

waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you

who are you
and where are you in my life
i was wondering how much of me
is still alive

i don't even know
if i can swim again
you know how cold it gets
with all your struggling

try to find ourselves
seems real
it gets so hard at times
you know just what to feel

[chorus]
waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you
i got reasons
i got reasons

watch the water bleed the soil
albinoed by the sun
we will try to keep our feet
in the face of what we've done

try to find ourselves
see this, what we made?
tell me what you want
and what you have betrayed

home is still the place
that we love the most
home is where you are
home is where you are

[chorus]

come through me
you arrive and I'm on fire
subdue me
to explode that you inspired
so groovily
second episode of ALL SMILES
let's make a movie
in the name of all great liars
improvising Kaufman style
they are all reasons to me
they are all reasons to be
they are all reasons to see
they are all reasons to me
how the hell do you do this?
change the colors shapes and size
I'm clueless
not one thing I recognize
so foolish
every now's a big surprise
help me to get through this
stay with me until I die
there's nothing else I wanna try
they are all reasons to me
they are all reasons to be
they are all reasons to see
they are all reasons to me

they are all reasons to me
they are all reasons to be
they are all reasons to see
they are all reasons to me

Give me the reason
That I want...

[1] - Give me the reason to love you
And I want to love you more
Oh give me the reason to love you
And I want to love you more

Sitting in here thinking about you
And all the joy you bring oh baby
I just can't live without you
Cause your love means everything

[Repeat 1]

Honey I've got to tell you
Just how you make me feel
Oh baby my love will never leave you
Cause I will be right here

And you know that I would do anything
Not to lose your love, not to lose your love
Cause your love gives me the reason
And I want you more each day

[Repeat 1(2x)]

And you know that I would do anything
Not to lose your love, to lose your love
Cause your love gives me the reason
And I want you more, I need baby

[2] - When I can't seem to find my way
You brighten up my darkest day
The reason to love you more

[Repeat 2 til end of song]

(M. Riperton R. Rudolph)

The reasons for my life are in a million faces
Like aching promises I feel them in my bones
Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
The reasons for my life are more than I can hold

But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone♥

The reasons for my life are buried in deep places
Words once could awaken them
these seeds that I have sown
Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold
The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold

But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone♥

The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
The reasons for my life are more than I was told

But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone♥
alone♥ alone♥
