[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, but I love you
I don't know why I love you, but I love you
[Verse]
Always treat me like a fool
Hit me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, oh yeah
Never stop with those cheatin' ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord, how much can I be disgraced?
'Cause I love you, oh, baby, yeah
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, but I love you
I don't know why I love you, baby
But I love you, baby, oh yeah
[Outro]
You throw my heart down in the dirt
Oh, you made me crawl, oh
On this cold, black earth, yeah
No, I never knew how much love could hurt
'Til I loved you, baby, oh yeah
I can't stop, I can't stop crying, can't you see?
Oh, I'm pleading with you, baby, now
I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
Won't you help me? Oh, help me, please
'Cause I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, baby
I don't know, I don't know, we don't know
Oh, don't know nothin' about it
Can't do nothin' about it
I don't know why I love you
Oh yeah, baby, oh
I can't stop, I can't stop crying, oh
I'm on my knees, baby
Won't you help me, please?
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, baby
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, but I love you
I don't know why I love you, but I love you
[Verse]
Always treat me like a fool
Hit me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, oh yeah
Never stop with those cheatin' ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord, how much can I be disgraced?
'Cause I love you, oh, baby, yeah
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, but I love you
I don't know why I love you, baby
But I love you, baby, oh yeah
[Outro]
You throw my heart down in the dirt
Oh, you made me crawl, oh
On this cold, black earth, yeah
No, I never knew how much love could hurt
'Til I loved you, baby, oh yeah
I can't stop, I can't stop crying, can't you see?
Oh, I'm pleading with you, baby, now
I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
Won't you help me? Oh, help me, please
'Cause I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, baby
I don't know, I don't know, we don't know
Oh, don't know nothin' about it

Oh yeah, baby, oh
I can't stop, I can't stop crying, oh

I don't know why I love you
But I love you, baby
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
