Michael Franks The Lady Wants to Know

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,
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
But she doesn't know
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 is just like heaven
When she smiles

REPEAT REFRAIN
