Reason Why lyrics

by Gene Clark
If I was strong then I wouldn't care if she was here or she was there
But I guess I didn't go by the rule
'Cause she really made me look like a fool
I shouldn't have let her hurt me at all
'Cause I know the price you pay when you fall
But I couldn't believe it was true
When she told me we were through
And the reason why I cry I wish I knew
My friends told me about her, when they saw me hold her hand
But I didn't think they knew her
So how could they understand
I couldn't hear a word they were saying 'cause inside my head
The music was playing
But I found out it was all true when they told me we were through
And the reason why I die I wish I knew
Inst bridge
Repeat v3
And the reason why I cry I wish I knew
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
