The Wrong Reasons

(album: Wild Horses – The Nashville Album - 1998)

You've been looking round for so long
That you don't know if it's right or it's wrong
And I've been thinking that it always seems
I'm living in the same old dreams

Tonight you're going nowhere
And you can't make up your mind
But tomorrow you may realize
You need a love like mine, so baby...

You can love me for the wrong reasons
If that's what's gonna make you stay the night
And I can pretend that it's not gonna end
And in the morning we'll be alright

You can love me for the wrong reasons
If that's what's gonna get you through the day
But you won't find another heart like mine
'Cause I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you in the right ways

You can tell yourself it's just the way
I smile at you or the things I say
But I can make myself believe it's true
But it's not real, you're just passing on through

And even when you're falling
And you tell me that you're not
That won't stop me giving you
Everything I got, so baby...

You can love me for the wrong reasons
If that's what's gonna make you stay the night
And I can pretend that it's not gonna end
And in the morning we'll be alright

You can love me for the wrong reasons
If that's what's gonna get you through the day
But you won't find another heart like mine
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you in the right ways

Oh, and even when you're falling
And you can't make up your mind
But tomorrow you may realize
You need a love like mine, so baby...

You can love me for the wrong reasons
If that's what's gonna get you through the day
But you won't find another heart like mine
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you in the right ways
