Why Baby Why

[Intro]
Ah, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
Our old picture frames are empty
I burned all your letters, I took off your ring
But what can I do with these memories
Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back
But you ain't coming back

[Chorus]
So tell me why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
Oh, I try, baby, try, baby, try
But your love just won't leave me alone
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
Why, baby, why?

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes when I kiss his lips
Praying this time I will see you
I'm real good at lying to everyone else
But I just can't lie to myself
When the truth is a shadow that follows me
Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost

[Chorus]
Tell me why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
Oh, I try, baby, try, baby, try
But your love just won't leave me alone
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
Why, baby, why?

[Bridge]
I saw your taillights fade into the dark
And my head knows, but there's no convincing my heart
Ah-ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Oh, why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
Oh, I try, baby, try, baby, try
But your love just won't leave me alone
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
You know that I cry
Why, baby, why?
Why, baby, why?
Oh-oh, ooh
