You Are the Reason

(Mel Tillis - Gene Hood)



Well, you are the reason there's tears in my eyes

You and your heart and your lies

Well, you make the nights seem oh so long

I haven't slept a wink baby since you've been gone.



I was a fool it's plain to see

You never really ever cared for me

Just when I was used to loving you

Then you went away, left me, oh, so blue.



Well, you are the cause of this hurt in my heart

Pain and the mis'ry since we've been apart.
