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")
