Seven Little Reasons

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, okay Count it up [Verse 1] Walk in with the receipt still warm New silk hanging by the bedroom door You ask what I want, I already chose Small gold box with the ribbon rose I keep my own name on the reservation No waiting around for an invitation If I like that coat, let the tailor call If I miss you, I can buy the whole mall [Pre-Chorus] I learned the hard way, keep the key In my own hand, where it ought to be No borrowed shine, no borrowed time I built this little life and made it mine [Chorus] Seven little reasons I can sleep at night One for the freedom, two for the appetite Three for the friends who know my favorite side Four for the dress that I wore twice Five for the ticket, six for the view Seven says I never needed you If you want my heart, bring more than a price I’m doing just fine with my seven little reasons tonight [Verse 2] Champagne chilling beside the sink I send the payment before I even blink New keys tapping on a marble tray I made a wish and then I made a way My girls pull up, no questions asked We turn one dinner to a weekend pass You can keep promises dressed in blue I trust the people who come through [Pre-Chorus] I learned the hard way, keep the key In my own hand, where it ought to be No borrowed shine, no borrowed time I built this little life and made it mine [Chorus] Seven little reasons I can sleep at night One for the freedom, two for the appetite Three for the friends who know my favorite side Four for the dress that I wore twice Five for the ticket, six for the view Seven says I never needed you If you want my heart, bring more than a price I’m doing just fine with my seven little reasons tonight [Bridge] Don’t call it lucky, I remember every mile Every closed door taught me how to choose my style Now the table’s full and everybody gets a plate I don’t count on fate—I calculate [Final Chorus] Seven little reasons I can sleep at night One for the freedom, two for the appetite Three for the friends who know my favorite side Four for the dress that I wore twice Five for the ticket, six for the view Seven says I never needed you If you want my heart, bring more than a price I’m doing just fine with my seven little reasons tonight [Outro] Count it up, count it up Mine, mine, mine Seven little reasons tonight
