I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine

I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on 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
Trying to believe
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh, yeah, uh-huh

I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine

I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on 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
It's nothing that I didn't know
Trying to survive
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Hangin' onto you
Oh, yeah, uh-huh

I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love
Honey, take a little time

Oh, I don't wanna know

This is an interesting song. It makes me think Stevie felt a little guilty about putting Lindsey through all that pain. In answer to Lindsey's question in Go Your Own Way, she doesn't know why everything turned around, why "love keeps walking on down the line" (see Monday Morning). But even though she's gone, she still wants him to be happy and to find new love. In the second verse she tells him to follow his spirit - but I'm not sure what that means because in the next lines she's accusing him of not really loving her in the right way - "you say you love me but you don't know". And what's the truth that she's talking about? Maybe the fact that their love wasn't built to last? That Lindsey's love wasn't what it should have been?

At any rate,she goes on to say in the third verse that Lindsey calls her "crazy" when she's just "trying to survive." That almost seems like an apology - he may think she's crazy to throw away their love but she's saying she had to do it to survive. Maybe Lindsey understood this better when he made Out of the Cradle and wrote songs like Surrender the Rain about leaving because you have to. I also think it's interesting that she admits to "hanging on" to Lindsey. But she blames it on him - he's got her "rockin' and a-reelin'." Finally, she tells him to "take a little time" - it heals all wounds right? I doubt Lindsey was convinced at the time...but look at 'em now!
