Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I'm cravin' your body, is this real?
Temperature's risin', I don't wanna feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
[Verse 2]
Whoa, when I'm longin' to love you just for a night
Kissin' and huggin' and holdin' you tight
Please let me love you with all my might
[Refrain]
Reasons
The reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear our feelin's won't disappear, oh
And after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all our reasons start to fade
[Chorus]
After all our reasons why (All our reasons why)
All our reasons were a lie (All our reasons were a lie)
After all our reasons love, love (Love was left aside)
[Verse 3]
I'm longin' to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might
Baby
Ooh, baby
[Refrain]
Yeah, reasons
The reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear our feelin's won't (Disappear)
They won't disappear
And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
[Bridge]
And in the mornin' when I rise
No longer feelin' hypnotized
Find our reasons, our reasons
Our reasons had no pride
[Chorus]
After all our reasons why
All our reasons were a lie
After all our reasons, love, love (Oh, love was left aside)
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh, where
Yeah
Ooh, baby
[Outro]
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I love you baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya', real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby, yeah, for my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why I love ya'
