Never Had A Reason To

(Tim nichols, mark d. sanders)

All the girls I grew up with

Got a husband house and kids

That's what everybody did after school

If I'd had a steady boyfriend

I mighta stuck around like them but

Back then I never had a reason to

L.a.'s like another planet

Had to live there to understand it

And I thought when I first landed that california's cool

Till I saw good girls gettin' outta control

Endin' up sellin' their souls

Oh no I never had a reason to

Chorus:

I never had a reason to stay

To not walk away

Nobody's heart was gonna break over me

I never had somethin' worth keepin'

Or somebody I needed

Like I'm needin' you

Baby don't you see it's true

I never had a reason to believe in love

To some love comes as a vision

To some it's a sweet baptism

Me and love had a head on collision

When I ran into you

Got some feelings I'm figurin' out

No I don't know exactly how

Until now I never had a reason to

Repeat chorus (leave off in love)

Repeat chorus
