Well you'd t hink by now my reckless days were over

That running with the crowd would wear me out

With one woman in my pocket and another by my side

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why



I've put you in a place that's not so easy

I've made you watch me tear your feelings down

But it leaves me with a questinos that unanswered in you eyes

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why



Now once again I'm making you this promise

that I'm gonna keep my love out of the streets

And with all of your heart you're gonna try to keep my honest

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why



Yeah when you look at me girl tell me what you're seeing

What do you see beyond these shallow lies

You're so close to the truth but you go on believing

So tell me why you love me baby, tell me why



Now once again I'm making you this promise

That I'm gonna keep my love out of the streets

And with all of your heart you're gonna try to keep me honest

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why

Tell me why you love me baby, tell me why
