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 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, they 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 o friendship, do it to me!

Make me an offer, and make it for free

Don't give me reasons, because I wrote that song

I only want love now, so I'll just take the one
