Abbott, Gregory - Rhyme And Reason Lyrics
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger
Market value ain't getting stronger
A special friend of mine, he try advise me all the time
He talk to me 'bout my newfound lady
He say she's just no good, she all around the neighborhood
Do yourself a favor, boy, and let her be
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger
Find another woman while the choice is up to you
Well, he confide in me, he see me kiss her 'neath a tree
And her smile, it say there is no other
But when he call my name, ooh, she'd nearly go insane
And the boy she with, he'd quickly run away
(She just don't know what to say)
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me (oh no)
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy (you're crazy)
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
(Mama wanna run around town all day)
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger (oh yeah)
Market value ain't getting stronger (oh no)
Find another woman while the choice is up to you
(Ain't no rhyme or reason, babe)
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me (no)
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
(My baby wanna run around town all day)
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger (oh yeah)
Market value ain't getting stronger
Find another woman while the choice is up to you (oh yeah)
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me (make no sense)
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy (you're crazy)
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
(She only wanna run around town all day)
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger (no)
Market value ain't getting stronger (oh no)
Find another woman while the choice is up to you
(I got me a little bit of choice and I've had it)
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me (ain't no reason)
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run (ain't got much time, oh no)
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger (you're fine, you're fine)
Market value ain't getting stronger (oh woman, well well)
Find another woman while the choice is up to you (oh yeah, oh)
Because the rhyme and the reason don't make no sense to me
I think I'm crazy living a fantasy (fantasy)
Girl don't love you, mama, she's just on the run
(My baby wanna run around town all day)
You better wise up, man, you ain't getting younger (no, no)
Market value ain't getting stronger
Find another woman while the choice is up to you (oh yeah)
(I got the rhyme and the reason, baby)

Abbott, Gregory Rhyme And Reason Comments
The beginning sounds like Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing'
Selectiveness is important!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!
Oh and I love this song!
This is what they mean when they say Tall, Dark And Handsome , oh my goodness. ...:)
When I was little, my sister and I called him 'Gingory Abbott' (Only Nigerian 80's kids will get the joke).
Yeaaa. This song was particularly unique in the 80s cos its rhythm was different and still is. This was a period music would touch your body and soul. Great sound! Makes one feel young again and reminiscent of the good old days. And I am still listening to it in 2018 because the rhyme and rhythm make sense to me.
What a lovely song. This was when music was music, you can relate to what the song means, not the rubbish they are playing these days.
I Not Only Love This Song, The Scenery Is Excellant. All Those Beautiful Pictures Says A Lot About The Singer. ( just saying)
its a lovely song dear. you can relate to what the song is saying.

Lyric of "Rhyme And Reason"
(by Gregory Abbott)
Because the rhyme and the reason
don’t make no sense to me
I think you’re crazy living a fantasy
Girl don’t love ya, mama she’s just on the run
You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger
Walk it by you ain’t get the stranger
Find another woman
while the choice is up to you
A special friend one
He try to advise me all the time
He talk to me
‘bout my new find lady
He said she’s just no good
She all around the neighborhood
Do yourself a favor boy
and let her be
Because the rhyme and the reason
don’t make no sense to me
I think you’re crazy living a fantasy
Girl don’t love ya, mama she’s just on the run
You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger
Walk it by you ain’t get the stranger
Find another woman
while the choice is up to you
Well he couldn’t find me
He see me kissing if a tree
And her smile,
it says there is no other
But when he called my name
Oh, she nearly broke insane
And the boy she with
he quickly ran away
Because the rhyme and the reason
don’t make no sense to me
I think you’re crazy living a fantasy
Girl don’t love ya, mama she’s just on the run
You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger
Walk it by you ain’t get the stranger
Find another woman
while the choice is up to you
Because the rhyme and the reason
don’t make no sense to me
I think you’re crazy living a fantasy
Girl don’t love ya, mama she’s just on the run
You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger
Walk it by you ain’t get the stranger
Find another woman
while the choice is up to you
*** *** *** *** *** ***
Because the rhyme and the reason

You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger

Find another woman

Because the rhyme and the reason

I think you’re crazy living a fantasy
Girl don’t love ya, mama she’s just on the run
You better wise up man you ain’t get the younger
Walk it by you ain’t get the stranger

Wow this is good. Someone knows all the words.
Man! Why is this brotha not famous like so many from back in the day? I just about wore this tape out back in the day. Shake You Down is the jam and this reggae action? Come on!

The rhythm makes me want to listen to the song once more. Let alone the lyrics. Hmm!! I think Gregory Abbott made in my heart with this song. I LOVE THE SONG.
I turned this into a blues song in 94 at a Talent Show. But it's epic fail compared to the original.
Sorry, this song only belongs to Gregory Abbott, LOL!!!
The more than twenty years that I seek this music. Many thanks to those who posted. You can not imagine how happy I did.
thanks, I've been looking for this song so long..
Played this today while driving to LA from San Luis....cause it prevented me from going insane with the bad driving from other motorist & the bitch-of-a-traffic on the flipping Freeway....but Gregory Abbott's music always ease my mind
so did i were you on a beach in negril
This song reminds me of my time in Nigeria back in 1987
How did I know I'd find you here? Lol...
