[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why, but I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, baby
[Verse 1]
Always treats me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down, that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, baby, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
Oh, you never stop your cheatin' ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord, how long must I be disgraced
'Cause I love you, baby
Yes, I love you, love you, baby
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know, you and me baby, oh
I don't know why I love you
But I love you, baby
Oh darlin', darlin'
[Verse 3]
You drive my heart down in the dirt, oh
You made me crawl on this cold black earth
No, I never knew how much love could hurt
'Til I loved you, baby; 'til I loved you, baby
I can't stop, I can't stop crying, can't you see, ow
Here I'm pleadin', baby, on my knees, I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, come on, help me please
'Cause I love you, baby
[Outro]
I don't know, baby
I can't do nothin' about it
Nobody can do nothin' about it, yeah
I don't know
I don't know, you don't know, girl
We don't know nothin' about it
And nobody can do nothin' about it
I don't know, baby; say, I don't know
Hey, hey, I'm tryna tell you that I
I don't know, say I don't know
I can't do nothin' about it
Nobody do nothin' about it
I don't know but I love ya, but I love ya
