You Are The Reason

(album: The Great Mel Tillis Sings Walk On, Boy & Other Great Country Hits - 1966)

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

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
