Just give me a reason for loving you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know, can you tell me it’s true
I should love you the way I do

(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
I don’t know
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)

Well you know I’ve been hurt
And you made me feel like a fool
And you told me things
That you know you didn’t mean
I’ll let you in on it, I love you so madly
I don’t know why I love you the way I do

(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
Oh, I don’t know why I love you like I do
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)

Oh, I know sometimes you treat me so cold
Baby, oh it hurts me down inside
But one of these days I’m gonna
Let you down so hard
You’re gonna sit and wonder

Give me a reason why I love you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know
Can you tell me it’s true
‘Cause I love you the way I do

I don’t know why I love you like I do
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
I don’t know why
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
I don’t know
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
Gimme a reason
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
Oh, just give me a reason
(I don’t know why I love you like I do)
