Reasons
Earth/Wind/Fire Lyrics

Now, I'm craving your body, is this real?
I am overcome by the desire for your physical presence and I question if this feeling is genuine.

Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
My emotions are escalating and it is an overwhelming sensation that I wish to avoid.

I'm in the wrong place to be real
The location or circumstance that I find myself in is not conducive to genuine emotion or expression.

Whoa, and I'm longing to love you, just for a night
Despite the situation or its impermanence, I have an intense desire to express my love for you for at least one night.

Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
I have an intense desire to show affection for you by embracing you, kissing you and holding you close.

Please let me love you with all my might
I ask and hope for your permission to love you with great strength and commitment.

Reasons, the reasons that we're here
We exist primarily for our reasons and purpose that drive us to move forward and accomplish things.

The reasons that we fear
Our anxieties, apprehensions, and concerns cause us to doubt ourselves and hesitate at times.

Our feelings won't disappear, oh
Our emotions are constantly present and will not simply vanish.

And after the love game has been played
Once the relationship or encounter is over, and the temporary façade has been lifted.

All our illusions were just a parade
All of the delusions and automatic presumptions we formed were simply for show and not most likely to be true.

And all our reasons start to fade
The key driving forces have already become less strong and begun to disappear.

After all our reasons why (all our reasons why)
Despite all of our reasons and justifications,

All our reasons were a lie (all our reasons were a lie)
All of our reasons were not really honest or legitimate.

After all ours reasons love
Despite any and all other potential reasons,

Love was left aside (love)
Love was relegated to a secondary or lower priority.

Hey, ha-ha, yeah
An exclamation of joy or pleasure

I can't find the reasons
I am unable to identify the cause or justification

That my love won't disappear
My deep-seated emotions and attachment to you will not simply fade away.

Can't find the reasons
I am struggling to identify the key motivators or reasons behind my feelings.

Why I love you, baby, my dear
I am unsure of and cannot identify why I love you so deeply.

Can't find the reasons
I can't locate the underlying motives or justifications

Wanna love you all night
I strongly desire to express love to you throughout the entire night.

Can't find the reasons
I'm still searching for a logical justification

Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
I must hold you firmly and tightly, not letting go.

Can't find the reasons
I am finding it difficult to identify the root cause or justification.

Baby, yeah
Endearing term of affection

For my tears
I cannot readily comprehend why I would cry or become emotional about you.
