The Lady Wants to Know (Album Version)

The Lady Wants to Know (Album Version) - Michael Franks

Daddy plays the ashtray

Baby starts to cry

The Lady wants to know the reasons why

Daddy's just like Coltrane

Baby's just like Miles

The Lady's just like heaven when she smiles

Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reasons

Got to know the reasons why

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin

How he hates to say goodbye

What she doesn't know

There really is no reason

Really is no reason why

And the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reasons

Got to know the reasons why

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin

How he hates to say goodbye

But what she doesn't know

There really is no reason

There really is no reason why

Daddy he hates airplanes

Baby loves to fly

The Lady wants to know the reason why

Daddy's just like Coltrane

Baby's just like Miles

The Lady's just like heaven when she smiles

And the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reasons

Got to know the reasons why

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin

How he hates to say goodbye

But what she doesn't know

There really is no reason

There really is no reason why
