Tell Me Why You Love Me Lyrics

Tell me why you love me
Tell me how you know
I know it might be so
But I might never know
But I will not believe you 'till you tell me
And if you won't tell me, I got to go

'Cause I can hear 'em laughin'
I can hear 'em singin'
I can hear 'em dancin' down in San Antonio
They don't have these questions
And almost without exception
They don't care if they don't ever know
They got a Texas moon above 'em
Texas men to love 'em
All they seem to care about is how they feel tonight
I've lived that way before
But I can't do it anymore
Just because it isn't wrong don't make it right

So tell me why you love me
Tell me how you know
I know it might be so
But I might never know
And I will not believe you 'till you tell me
And if you won't tell me, I got to go

Well I can tell you why I love you
You know I hardly have to try
It came to me while I
Was thinking over your reply
Instead of simply takin' me for granted
You took me by surprise and asked me why

'Cause I used to say I love you
They would say I love you too
And all it really meant was "ain't this fun? Yes I agree"
It was just a way of talkin'
They might just as well be walkin'
With the dog instead of comin' home with me
Everything had to be cheerful
And I'd really get an earful
If I ever tried to talk about what mattered most to me
It was a major undertaking
Just to keep their hearts from breaking
Every time I tried to sing in minor key

So I can tell you why I love you
You know I hardly have to try
It came to me while I
Was thinking over your reply,-a
