Lyrics

I (C)don’t know why I love you, (A7)but I (Dm7)do, less,

I don’t know why I cry so, but I (C)do.

less.

I on ly know I’m (E7)lone ly and (F)that I want you (A7)on ly, I (D7)don’t know why I (G7)love you, but I (C)do.

I (C)can’t sleep nights be cause I (A7)feel so (Dm7)rest less,

I don’t know what to do, I feel so (C)help less.

And since you’ve been a (E7)way, ly I (F)cry both night and (A7)day.

ly, I (D7)don’t know why I (G7)love you, but I (C)do.

I (C)do.

My (F)days have been so lone ly, my (C)nights have been so blue,

I (Am7)don’t know (D7)how I (Am7)stand it, (D7)but I (G7)do.

Each (C)night I sit a lone and (A7)tell my (Dm7)self

that I will fall in love with some one (C)else.

I guess I’m wast in’ (E7)time,

but I’ve (F)got to clear my (A7)mind,

I (D7)don’t know why I (G7)love you but I (C)do.
