Daddy plays the ashtray
Baby starts to cry
The Lady wants to know the reasons why
Daddy's just like Coltrane
Baby's just like Miles
The Lady's just like heaven when she smiles
And the Lady wants to know
She wants to know the reasons
Got to know the reasons why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin'
How he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn't know
There really is no reason
There really is no reason why
And the Lady wants to know
She wants to know the reasons
Got to know the reasons why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin'
How he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn't know
There really is no reason
There really is no reason why
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
And the Lady wants to know
She wants to know the reasons
Got to know the reasons why
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin'
How he hates to say goodbye
But what she doesn't know
There really is no reason
There really is no reason why
