I Don’t Know Why I Love You Lyrics by David Ruffin

Feelin’ Good

0

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, baby
But I don't know why I need, I need, I need you, baby
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, honey, hoo hoo
[Verse 1]
You treat me bad and cause me pain
Yet foolishly, I come running back to you again
You've been seen with other guys in so many different places
In front of me, you make sure I see a smiling in their face, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Here's warning you, oh
That your love for me
Is just not destiny, oh
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you, darling
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, baby
Yes, I do, ooh ooh ooh
And I don't know why I need you, baby
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, honey
Oh, yes I do, baby
[Verse 2]
Wastin' tears, I've got to stop
'Cause I see your lovin' face in every drop
All it does is renew my old memories
Of you claiming to bе mine
While you werе being untrue to me
[Pre-Chorus]
What can I do?
What else can I say?
Must I go on this way? Hoo
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you, darling, darling
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, baby
You know I do
(Don't know why I love you)
But I don't know why I need I need you, baby
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, darling
Oh, you know I do hoo hoo hoo
[Bridge]
Now I'm just a broken man
Fighting for sanity
Wishing I could find my mind
The mind of the man I used to be
You took control of my heart and truly it's a shame
You've misused me and abuse me, but I keep lovin' you
Oh, I keep lovin' you just the same
[Verse 3]
My achin' heart's shattered and torn (Shattered and torn)
I must say the man, darling, has not been born (Not been born)
Who can find the strength, know where to end the pain (Ease the pain)
There's no answer anymore when I call your name (Call your name)
Just the shadow of your charms is all I see (All I see)
That you planted in my mind only to torment me
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't know why I love you, darling
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, baby (But I do)
Ooh, yes, I do, baby
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why I need you, honey
(Don't know why I love you)
But I do, baby
Yes I do
You've misused me and abused me
(Don't know why I love you)
But I keep loving you, girl
Oh, baby, woo (But I do)
I don't know, I don't know why I love you
(Don't know why I love you)
