Why Is That Lyrics by Jamala

All or Nothing

2013

[Chorus]
Why is that
When you look in my eyes
I loose my voice to speak up?
Why is it that
When you hug me
The world is like a dream?
Why is that
When I look in your eyes
I even have no fear, but
Why is that
When you touch me
My heart skips a beat?

[Verse 1]
Why is that
I can't sleep
When I am in bed without you?
Why is that
I can't speak
Whenever your calls don't come through?
Why is that
I can't breath
When you lay your kisses on me?
Why is that
I feel home
Wherever I am right next to you?

[Chorus]
Why is that
When you look in my eyes
I loose my voice to speak up?
Why is it that
When you hug me
The world is like a dream?
Why is that
When I look in your eyes
I even have no fear, but
Why is that
When you touch me
My heart skips a beat?

[Verse 2]
Why is that
You bring hope
Whenever I hang with you?
Your unconditional love
Is making my dreams come true
Why is that
I feel bliss
Whenever I think about you?
Why is that
I believe
Your heart belongs to me too?

[Chorus] x2
Why is that
When you look in my eyes
I loose my voice to speak up?
Why is it that
When you hug me
The world is like a dream?
Why is that
When I look in your eyes
I even have no fear, but
Why is that
When you touch me
My heart skips a beat?
