Carole King – The Reason lyrics

Words and Music by
Carole King, Mark Hudson & Greg Wells

I figured it out
I was high and low and everything in between
I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
Till there was you, yeah, you

Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an empty IOU
Been to Hell and back, but an angel
was looking through
It was you, yeah, you - it's all because of you

[Chorus]
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you

I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and made it real
I know what I feel
It's you - it's all because of you

[Chorus]

In the middle of the night
I'm going down because I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby

[Chorus]
