Songtexte I Don't Know Why - Syl Johnson

I don't know why I love you like I do
But I do, I just love you
I don't know why I want you like I do
But I do, I just want you

You kick me out in the cold pouring rain
But I come running back soon as you call my name
You build me up, then you let me down
You made me feel like the biggest fool in town

If it was anybody else I'd be gone
I should leave you girl, but my heart won't go
It don't make sense, I put up with you
But for one night of happines is seven days of blues

I don't know why I love you like I do
But I do, I just love you
I don't know why I want you like I do
But I do, I just want you

You hold me close then you push me away
You make all the rules and I still wanna stay
My friends shake their heads, they don't understand
Why I'm holdin' on to a love and living in quicksand

Each time I get fed up and I'm ready to leave
You say all the words that I want to believe
I made myself a prison when I gave you the key
But without your love, girl, I just wouldn't be free

I don't know why I love you like I do
But I do, I just love you
I don't know why I want you like I do
But I do, I just want you

I don't know why I love you like I do
But I do, I just love you
There's no one else I want as bad as you
'Cause I just love you and I do
I just love you, I love you

I don't know why I love you like I do
But I do, I just love you, ooh-ooh
I don't know why I want you like I do
But I do, I just want you
