Lyrics

I don’t know why I love you
I don’t know why I love you
I don’t know why I love you
But I love you
Always treat me like a fool
"Kick me when I'm down" - that's your rule
I don’t know why I love you
I just love you
You never stop your cheatin' ways
With another girl, you laugh in my face
Lord, how long was I to be disgraced?
'Cause I love you
Mm baby, I don’t know why I love you
I don’t know, you and me baby
I don’t know why I love you
I just love you
You throw my heart down in the dirt
You make me crawl on this cold, black Earth
I never knew how much love could hurt
Till I loved you, baby
Baby, ooh! I can't stop cryin', can't you see?
And here I'm pleading, and I'm down on my knees
Won't you help me, somebody help me please
'Cause I love you, baby
Baby, baby, I don't know, know why I love you
Baby, I don't know, know why I love you
Baby, I don't know, know why I love you
Baby, I don't know, know why I love you
Baby, I don't know, know why I love you
No no, baby
I don't know, know why I love you
I don't know, know why I love you
