I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you
Always treats me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, ooh
Oh, you never stop your cheatin' ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord, how long must I be disgraced?
'Cause I love you
Oh baby, baby, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know
You and me, baby, oh
I don't know why I love you, baby
But I love you, baby
Oh darlin', darlin', darlin'
You throw my heart down in the dirt
Oh, ou made me crawl on this cold black earth, baby
No, I never, I never knew how much love could hurt
Oh, until I loved you, baby, 'til I loved you, baby, baby
Oh baby, I can't stop
I can't stop crying, can't you see
Here I'm pleadin on my knees, I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, help me please
'Cause I love you, I love you, baby
Woo, sure enough, baby, yeah
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know nothing about it
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know, baby, I don't know
Oh baby, baby, sho nuff, I love you
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know nothing about it
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know, baby, Motown can't do nothing about it
Can't do nothing about it
Oh baby, I don't know why I love you, baby
I don't know why I love you, love you, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you
Always treats me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, ooh
Oh, you never stop your cheatin' ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord, how long must I be disgraced?
'Cause I love you
Oh baby, baby, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know
You and me, baby, oh

Oh baby, I can't stop
