I don’t want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking down the line
I don’t want to stand between you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine
Finally baby
The truth has come down now
Take a listen to your spirit
It’s crying out loud.
Try to believe
You say you love me, but you don’t know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh
I don’t want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking down the line
I don’t want to stand between you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine
Finally baby
The truth has been told
Now you tell me that I’m crazy
That’s nothing that I didn’t know
Trying to survive
You say you love me, but you don’t know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
I don’t want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking down the line
I don’t want to stand between you and love
Honey, take a little time.
