Lyrics The Reason Why - Daryl Hall & John Oates

The reason why I'm not with you
I thought you didn't want to be with me
I stayed up all last night
Tryin' to figure why you slammed the door on me
And I thought of all the things I might have done last night
Some clumsy thing I didn't do or say just right
I worried myself right into a brand-new day
My eyes are heart with tears, and I just can't face fate

Tell me the reason why you won't explain? And I can't guess
Didn't I touch you right? Or should I talk a little less?
Please, tell me the reason, please, tell me the reason why?

The reason why I'm feelin' bad
I'm thinking that you may be leavin' me
Oh, I spent a lonely night in the kitchen
I'm tryin' to fight all the tears in me
I'm still at the table as the day unfolds
With a half a cup of coffee that by now is cold
The silence that you answer, I don't understand
You know I try to read your face, you know I can

Tell me the reason why you won't explain? I just can't guess
Didn't I touch you right? Or should I talk a little less?
Please, tell me the reason, please, tell me the reason why?

Tell me the reason why
Please, tell me the reason why
