Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Suddenly she's leavin'
Suddenly, the promise of love has gone
Suddenly, breathin' seems so hard to do
Carefully, you planned it
I got to know just a minute too late, oh, girl
Now I understand it
All the times we made love together
Baby, you were thinking of him
[Verse 2]
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me, why did you have to be untrue?
Love you like I do, why do I love you like I do?
[Verse 3]
Ain't gonna show no weakness
I'm gonna' smile and tell the whole world I'm fine
I'm gonna keep my senses, but deep down
When no one can hear me, baby, I'll be crying for you
[Verse 4]
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me, why did you have to be untrue?
Love you like I do, why do I love you like I do?
[Verse 5]
Can't go back, can't erase
Baby, your smiling face, oh, no
I can think of nothing else but you
Suddenly
[Verse 6]
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me, why did you have to be untrue?
Love you like I do, like I always do
[Verse 7]
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me, why did you have to be untrue?
Love you like I do, like I always do
[Verse 8]
Why do I love you like I do?
Love you like I do, like I always do
Love you like I do, like I always do
Love you like I do, like I always do
Love you like I do, like I always do
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
