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

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
