Verse:

All day long you're asking me, What I see in you, All day long I'm answering, But what good does it do?

I have nothing to explain, I just love you, love you, And I'll tell you once again:

 

Chorus:

I Don't Know Why I love you like I do, I Don't Know Why, I just do.

I Don't Know Why you thrill me like you do, I Don't Know Why, you just do.

You never seem to want me romancing, The only time you hold me is when we're dancing,

I Don't Know Why I love you like I do, I Don't Know Why I just do.
