I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do) / Mean to Me

You’re as mean as you can be
Always love to scold
But you treat your other friends
Quite decently, I’m told
I should really hate you, dear
And, in fact, I guess I do
Except when you are near

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 my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we’re dancing
I don’t know why I love you
I don’t know why, I just do

I treat you sweetly
I'm yours completely
Think of you, dream of you
All day through
I thought I pleased you
Whatever seized you
That made you trеat me
The way you do?
Love you - I always will
Think of you only, and still

You'rе mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You like to see me cryin'

I don't know why
I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't, and I'm left alone
Singing the blues and sighin'

You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me, whenever
Somebody is near - dear

It must be
Great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see
What you mean to me?
