Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why does summer start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why do we love if love will die?
[Verse 2]
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday?
Why do flowers come in May?
Why does springtime go away?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
[Verse 3]
It's not like I can explain what's in my heart
It's just I feel a crazy pain when we're apart
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna learn
I don't wanna do anything
[Verse 4]
It's not like I can describe what's goin' on
It's just I feel I'm not alive when you're not home
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
I just want you hear beside me
Without you, there's no me
[Verse 5]
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why does summer start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why? (Why?)
Why do we love if love will die?
[Verse 6]
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday?
Why do flowers come in May?
Why does springtime go away?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
[Verse 7]
It's not like I can escape what's in my soul
'Cause without you inside my heart, where can I go?
I don't wanna see
You without me
I can't go through life without you
Without you, there's no me
[Verse 8]
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why does summer start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why? Why?
Why do we love if love will die?
[Verse 9]
Why do the rivers flow to the sea?
In every flow, I get your love over me, babe
Why does my heart miss your kiss?
To be in love, to feel your love
Why don't I feel complete?
[Verse 10]
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why does summer start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why? Why?
Why do we love if love will die?
[Verse 11]
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday?
Why do flowers come in May?
Why does springtime go away?
Why do people fall in love when they're always breaking up?
Oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
[Verse 12]
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
