Michael Franks - The Lady Wants To Know lyrics

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

REFRAIN:

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 leaving

How he hates to say goodbye

What she doesn't know

Is there really is no reason

Really is no reason why

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT REFRAIN

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's just like heaven

When she smiles

REPEAT REFRAIN
