Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Reasons Why

Rock, let's rock, yeah

I used to wonder 'bout a lot of things

Things that I didn't understand

I've given on up in what I used to take

I know I'm giving all I can

Life is too short to be taken

Taken for a jolly ride, yeah

Everything I do from now on in, hoo

I got to be satisfied

I ain't living sun up to sun down

Just to have a frown on my face, ooh

I have my feet planted on the ground

I like it better that way, for

(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh) I love the reasons why

(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh) I love the reasons why

Hey, hey, darling

Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, love it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Bright lights, big city, it's like a spider web, y'all

Caught up in the glitter and the pretty

Never have I seen it so bad

Life is too short to be taken

Taken for a jolly ride, ooh

Everything I do from now on in, hoo

I've got to be satisfied

I ain't living from sun up to sun down

Just to have a frown on my face (Frown on my face)

I have my feet planted on the ground

I like it better that way, ho

(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh) I love the reasons why

(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh) I love the reasons why

You can love any man when you wanna

I love the reasons, the reasons why

When your friends ain't around when your world is falling down

I know the reasons why

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

I know the reasons why, yeah

Ooh, yeah, I love the, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hoo, yeah, I love the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, I love the, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

I love the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the reasons, ooh

Ooh, the reasons why

Ooh, uh-huh, ooh, uh-huh, ha, yeah, ooh yeah yeah, I love the reasons
