lyrics

You are not the reason,
I lie awake at night,
You are not the reason,
Though I think it's what you'd like
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason

Oh it's all fun and it's all games,
It's just another stupid way
To say, I need affection
Oh I need affection
And even if my skin turned green
You'd never see my jealously
You cant defy gravity
Cause it's what keeps us down
Yeah it's what keeps us down

You are not the reason,
I lie awake at night,
You are not the reason,
Though I think it's what you'd like
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason
No you are not the reason

Can you hear the laughter
It's saying its goodbye
You've got to laugh sometimes my dear
Just laugh or you will cry
I need a shot of vodka
And a good nights sleep
But mostly I need something
To PG-12 my dreams

Oh when I lie awake at night
You don't plague my thoughts
It's more a 'hey that is the side of the bed
that I don't frequent much'
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason
No you are not the reason

Oh I lie awake at night and you are not the reason.
