That’s The Reason Lyrics by The Rakes

Klang

2009

It's late but I'm not finished yet
I'm stuck like a half smoked cigarette
Between the mates and the chances of something happenin'
She's in a group, she might be leaving soon
For a club or just a taxi home
I'd like to be in a taxi by her
Gotta take a chance, and make my move
Could be knocked back and they would all see
My mates and her's, it will be ugly
Or maybe it'll work and this night would be
More than just chat between my mates and me
Chasers leaving holes in your memory
Swing test to a heart in her sleeve
Instead I'll be back at her's under the sheets
With the TV on and she would smell good
We'll wake up and go to work, the world would be alright for once

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

Yeah I have to use your toothbrush
I know that you may not like that much
But stop for a second Freda while you touch
Most girl's magazines blah blah blaaah

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

(That's the reason)
Then you'd wake up
(that's the reason)
You were holding my hand
(that's the reason)
Fall asleep again
(that's the reason)
Big smile on my face

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
