Reasons
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Whoa, and I'm 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're here
Our feelings 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
La, la la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
After all our reasons why (all our reasons why)
All our reasons were a lie (all our reasons were a lie)
After all ours reasons love
Love was left aside (love)
I'm longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baby
Ooh, baby
Yeah, reasons, the reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear (they won't disappear)
And after the love games has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise
No longer feeling hypnotized
Find our reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Had no pride
After all our reasons why (after all the reasons why)
All our reasons were a lie (all of our reasons were a lie)
After all ours reasons love (oh)
Love was left aside (love)
Hey, ha-ha, yeah
Oh, why, yeah, ooh, baby
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 you
The lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire's song Reasons express the singer's longing to be with someone and confessing their physical desire for them. They feel a strong attraction to the person and want to love them for just one night. However, they acknowledge that they are in the wrong place to be real, implying that their feelings may not be fully genuine, and they are apprehensive about the reasons that keep them together.
The chorus of the song speaks about the reasons for their being together and the fear that their feelings won't disappear. It addresses the illusions they have created about their relationship and suggests that after playing the love game, all their reasons were just a parade, and their reasons start to fade away. The final verse reveals the singer's struggle to find the reasons why their love won't disappear, and they express their desire to love the person all night and squeeze them tightly.
Overall, the lyrics of Reasons are a reflection of the complexities of love and relationships, where strong desires and emotions can coexist with doubts and fears.

Now, I'm craving your body, is this real?
I desire your body so much, I'm questioning if this is reality
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I feel a flame of passion awakening inside me and I'm unsure if I should let it burn
I'm in the wrong place to be real
I know this isn't the right situation for me to be genuine and honest
Whoa, and I'm longing to love you, just for a night

Reasons, the reasons that we're hear
The motives behind our presence here
The reasons that we fear
The motives that make us scared
Our feelings won't disappear, oh
Our emotions will not vanish easily
And after the love game has been played
After we have gone through the motions of making love
All our illusions were just a parade
All the false ideas we had about our relationship were on display
And all our reasons start to fade
All our motives begin to lose their significance

After examining all the motives behind our actions
All our reasons were a lie (all our reasons were a lie)
All the motives we had were not truthful; they were false
After all ours reasons love
Despite all our motives for being here
Love was left aside (love)
We put love to the side and neglected it

Why I love you, baby, my dear
Why I have such deep affection for you, my beloved

I desire to love you for the entire night
Can't find the reasons
I cannot think of the motives
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
I have to hold you tightly
Can't find the reasons

Baby, yeah
A term of endearment directed to the person he loves
For my tears
The reason for my tears
Can't find the reasons why I love you
I cannot think of the motives for why I cherish you
