Why Lyrics by Jets UK

15 Rockin’ Years

1989

[Verse 1]
Why does my heart still skip a beat
Each time I see her on the street?

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I still get a feeling inside
Why do I move when she looks in my eyes?

[Chorus]
Why can't I leave that girl behind?

[Verse 2]
Why is it after all this time
I wait to find her on my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I lay on my bed at the end of the day
I try to forget her but she won't go away

[Chorus]
Why can't I leave that girl behind?

[Bridge]
She's the one that used to run
Her fingers through my hair
I feel so lost since she's been gone
But I still find her everywherе

[Verse 3]
Her photograph is fading fast
Just like our love it is at last

[Pre-Chorus]
Wеll now that I've lost her to somebody else
I say I don't care but I'm fooling myself

[Chorus]
Why can't I leave that girl behind?

[Guitar Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I lay on my bed at the end of the day
I try to forget her but she won't go away

[Chorus]
Why can't I leave that girl behind?

[Bridge]
She's the one that used to run
Her fingers through my hair
I feel so lost since she's been gone
But I still find her everywhere

[Verse 4]
Her photograph is fading fast
Just like our love it is at last

[Pre-Chorus]
Well now that I've lost her to somebody else
I say I don't care but I'm fooling myself

[Chorus]
Why can't I leave that girl behind?

[Outro]
Tell me, why can't I leave that girl behind?
I wanna know why can't I leave that girl behind
Why can't I leave that girl behind?
