[Intro: Charli XCX]
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason (No, no)
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
Tell me the reason (Yeah)
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the rеason
Why we can't fall in love

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Why, why, why?
Don't you lie, what do you want?
Fall in lovе, ah, risk it all

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
Tell me what you want
'Cause I know that you're lonely on your own
We're out in L.A. for a month
I don't think I can hide my emotions no, no more (Uh-huh)
A late night, say you want me, say you're selfish
Think about my body, then two-time
Say you want her? Do you want her?
Doesn't do it like me, no
So hot, burn the place down
Give you what you need

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
So you gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
(Why we can't fall in love)

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Why, why, why?
Don't you lie, what do you want?
Fall in love, ah, risk it all

[Verse 2: A. G. Cook]
It's that time of year again
Rudolph ring that bell again
Isn't it so elegant?
Yeah this sounds so eloquent
Now that it's so cold
It's that time of year so let us cheer
Hey Michael Bublé's here!
Let's fall in love, oh yeah
Like falling snow
Almost twelve, cold as hell
Santa's here to stay
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen
Can't take him away
Cookies and a pine tree
We got everything

[Chorus: A. G. Cook & Charli XCX]
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
Baby you know it's the season
Where people open up
Yeah we kicked out of heaven
Tequila in the pub
You really got me believing (Oh yeah)
Yeah yeah

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX & A. G. Cook]
Why, why, why?
Don't you lie, what do you want? (Don't you lie)
Fall in love, ah, risk it all

[Outro: A. G. Cook]
Take it while you can
I'll let you hold my hand
Take it while you can
Feels better the closer you stand

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
