I figured it out
J'ai compris
I was high and low and everything in between
J'étais haut et bas et tout ce qui s'est passé entre
I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
J'étais méchant et sauvage, bébé, tu sais ce que je veux dire
'Till there was you, yeah, you
Jusqu'à ce qu'il y ait toi, ouais, toi
Something went wrong
Quelque chose n'a pas marché
I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U
J'ai fait un pacte avec le diable pour un I.O.U. vide
Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through
J'ai été en enfer et de retour, mais un ange regardait
It was you, yeah, you
C'était toi, ouais, toi
It's all because of you
Tout est à cause de toi
You are the reason
Tu es la raison
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you
I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and you made it real
I know what I feel
It's you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
I'm going down 'cause I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby
You are the reason (baby)
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason (you are the reason)
You are the only reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The reason
Because of you
I want you now
Oh, hm-hm, hm-hm
