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

'Till there was you yeah you 
Something went wrong 
I made a deal with the devil for an 
Empty I.O.U. 
Been to hell and back but an angel was 
Looking through 

It was you yeah 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 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
