album _Loaded_
(The Velvet Underground, 1970)
written by Lou Reed
==============================
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
I found a reason to keep livin'
Oh, and the reason dear is you
I found a reason to keep singin'
Wow-woh, and the reason dear is you
Oh, I do believe
if you don't like things you leave
For someplace you've never
gone before
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Honey, I found a reason to keep livin'
And you know the reason dear it's you
And I've walked down life's lonely highways
hand in hand with myself
And I realize
how many paths have crossed between us
Oh, I do believe
you are what you perceive
What comes is better than what
came before
Oh, I do believe
you are what you perceive
What comes is better than what
came before
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
And you better come
come-come, come to me
come-come, come to me, better come
Come-come, come to me
Ba-ba-ba-ba

=====================================
I found a reason to keep livin'
And the reason dear is you
I found a way to make it oh stop repeatin'
And the reason dear is you
Oh, I do believe, if you don't like things you leave
For someplace you've never been before
I found a reason to you keep livin'
And the reason dear is you
I found a reason to keep singin'
And the reason dear is you
Oh, I do believe, but you are what you perceive
What comes is better than what came before
I found a reason to you keep livin'
And the reason dear is you
I found a reason to keep singin'
And the reason dear is you
Oh, I do believe, you are what you perceive
What comes is better than what came before
