They Might Be Giants
I Love You for Psychological Reasons
[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve taken to vacantly making repetitive movements mistakenly seen as improvements
Nearing perfection but wisely electing to shun my reflection preferring instead shoe inspection

[Pre-Chorus]
Cheese and chalk do not talk but their eyes synchronize with a secret rhythm
Which is a way one could say that I love you for psychological reasons

[Verse 2]
Mumbling failure in jail my extremities flail and I wail though my arms and my legs to the chair are nailed
Under the table, unwilling, unable, the tortures medieval
The dream is a fable with feeble wings

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse they won’t say but they feel their feelings
Doesn’t subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons (ahh)

[Chorus]
Reasons (ahh)
I can’t (ahh)
Really go into now
Reasons (ahh)
We should (ahh)
Probably (ahh)
Not get into right now
[Verse 3]
I’m ashamed to admit I’m afraid of assuming the blame for my lame abnegation of braveness and fame
Brain in a jar in a car in reverse I’m rehearsing the way I’ll replay how to say how to be where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Flammable undiagrammable sentiments pass between animal beings
Hard to explain but it’s plain that I love you for psychological reasons (ahh)

[Breakdown]

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse they won’t say but they feel their feelings
Doesn’t subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons (ahh)

[Chorus]
Reasons (ahh)
I can’t (ahh)
Really go into now
Reasons (ahh)
We should (ahh)
Probably (ahh)
Not get into right now
