I figured it out 
I was high and low and everything in 
Between 
I was wicked and wild baby you know

It's all because of you 
You are the reason 
You are the reason I wake up every day 
And sleep through the night 
You are the reason, the reason

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 
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 want you 

I want to touch you 
I want to floor you 
You are the reason, baby 
You are the reason 
You are the reason I wake up every day 
And sleep through the night 
You are the reason, the reason
