The Reason
Sharon Jones The Dap-kings Lyrics

This little beauty went out to my summer camp
I met a beautiful girl at summer camp

The beast was shy but I smiled at her the moment that she bowled
Despite her shyness, I was immediately drawn to her when she bowled

Senior year of high school didn’t ask her out to prom but she stole my heart
Even though I didn't ask her to prom, she captured my heart

And blew my birthday candles out of control
She made my birthday celebration incredibly joyful

You ain’t never seen nothing the way I see her
No one has ever seen her the way I do

The only reason why I’m with her is because you raised her right
I am with her solely because you raised her well

She picks me up when I’m down and she makes me laugh
She supports me when I'm feeling low and brings laughter into my life

Heck why not be with someone who loves her country music
Why not be with someone who shares my love for country music

And her papa treats me like my second dad
Her father treats me as if I were his own son

It’s only 100 reasons I can think of if you gave me permission to marry your daughter
I can think of numerous reasons to marry your daughter if you allow it

This little shotgun turned the music station on
I turned on the radio with my shotgun

To country Nash FM her favorite song was playing start to the end
Her favorite country song was playing on the Nash FM station

No doubt, it was Chris Lane with all them very big big plans
Without a doubt, the song playing was Chris Lane's 'Big, Big Plans'

She don’t know what I got hidden under my chest
She is unaware of the depth of my feelings for her

Never thought she was gonna be my whole world
I never anticipated that she would become my everything

But I got so many reasons why I’m with her
However, I have countless reasons for being with her

Cause she knows I have her back
Because she knows I support and protect her

I pick her up when she’s down
I uplift her when she's feeling down

And I make her laugh
I bring laughter into her life

Why not be with someone who writes his country music
Why not be with someone who creates country music like I do

And his momma loves her like she knows her best
And my mother loves her as if she were her own

It’s only 1,000 reasons I can think of
I can think of a multitude of reasons

If you gave me permission to marry your daughter
If you grant me the permission to marry your daughter

I love your daughter, like your my second father
I love your daughter as if you were my second father

I couldn’t be any farther even if I wrote you a card
I couldn't express it any better, even with a heartfelt card

To list 10,000 reasons why I’m with her, is because you raised her right
To enumerate ten thousand reasons for being with her, it's all because you raised her well

She picked me up when i’m lost and I found myself glad
She supported and comforted me when I was lost, and I discovered happiness within myself

That now I’m gonna be someone who loves her country music
As a result, I have become someone who wholeheartedly loves her country music

And see her walk down the aisle with her dad
And witness her walking down the aisle with her father

It’s only a million reasons I can think of
I can come up with countless reasons

If you gave me permission to marry your daughter
If you bestow upon me the permission to marry your daughter

If you gave me permission to marry your daughter
If you granted me the permission to marry your daughter

Your Daughter
Your beloved daughter
