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]
