[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you just do
[Refrain]
You never seem to want my romancin'
The only time you hold me is when we're dancin'
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you just do
[Refrain]
You never seem to want my romancin'
The only time you hold me is when we're dancin'
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, I just do
I don't know why I just, I just do
I don't know why, I just do
