Love Is The Reason - Blossom Dearie

Written by：Arthur Schwartz/Dorothy Fields

Love is the reason you were born

Is the reason you were

Love was the gleam in papa's eye

Was the gleam in papa's

People suddenly meet

People suddenly meet

People suddenly fit

People suddenly fit

People suddenly hit

People suddenly

And brother that's it brother that's it

Personally

Love is a kick right in the pants

Love is a kick right in the pants

Love is the aspiring you buy

Love is the aspiring you buy

If you're flappin' your fins

If you're flappin' your fins

If you're climbin' a wall

If you're climbin' a wall

There must be a reason for it all

What is the reason for it all

Love is the reason for it all

Love is the night you can't recall

Love is the night you can't recall

Love is the extra drink you drank

Love is the extra drink you drank

Love's a shot in the arm

Love's a shot in the arm

Love's a poke in the ribs

Love's a poke in the ribs

Buyin' bottles and bibs

Buyin' bottles

And fillin' up

Fillin' up cribs

Obviously

Love is an old established trap

Love is an old established trap

Ten million suckers walk the plank

Ten million suckers walk the plank

If you land on your tail

If you land on your tail

Every time that you fall

Every time that you

I can't see the reason for it

Who needs a reason for it

Love is the reason for it

All night the teasin' in the hall

Hallways are lovely for a call

Call it the season

I say love is the reason for it all
