The Lady Wants to Know Songtext
von Michael Franks

Daddy plays the ashtray
Baby starts to cry
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

The lady wants to know
She wants to know the reason, got to know the reason why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin' how he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn't know
Is there really is no reason, really is no reason why


The lady wants to know
She wants to know the reason, got to know the reason why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin′ how he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn′t know
Is there really is no reason, 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 is just like heaven when she smiles

The lady wants to know
She wants to know the reason, got to know the reason why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin' how he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn′t know
Is there really is no reason, really is no reason why
