You’re the Reason Lyrics

[Verse]
I lay here at night, toss and I turn
Lovin' you so, how my heart yearns
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night
A-just a walkin' the floor, thinkin' of you
Smoke cigarettes and drink all day too
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

[Chorus]
I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
But if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon
Strum my guitar to some old lonesome tune
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
Yeah, but if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon
Strum my guitar and sing out of tune
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night
[Outro]
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
