Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know why, yeah
There was nothing
Mmm
Ay
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
Thought you was the one like Neo
I was Blinded by the thought of you and me though
Played them old school games - Coleco
Vision came back - you for the streets ho
Now it’s done for good, yo finito
Cause I Hate U Bitch, No Z-Ro
Tried to save you from yourself, superhero
Yeah your love not a movie, all B-roll
Just a bunch of filler, a bunch of fluff
Trapped in a thriller and I can’t yell cut
Single teen mom, shoulda gave you up
Shoulda stuck with my mind and never gave two fucks
But I tried my luck and you tried my patience
What’s that old school adage? Yeah the rest is ancient
Came with ya baggage, guess your heart didn’t make it
Thought it was forever, I was sadly mistaken
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
Don’t know why you treat me this way
Don’t know why, begged you to stay
Don’t know why, what more coulda I say
I Don’t know why, I took you back that day
But I can’t blame you, yeah I’m the fool
Shoulda never placed you up on that pedestal
That’s a long way down, leave you battered/bruised
Guess I saw that vision of a better you
Better you? Nah, a better us
But for anything to work y’all trust is a must
Put my trust in a mutt, ain’t that summin’
Bitch was a jump off, word to Budden
Shoulda stuck to fuckin’, no handcuffin'
Ain’t good enough for you, guess no man wasn’t
Still I wish you the best, yea you and ya woman
I would say thanks, but it’s thanks for nothing
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
The lyrics to C.N.Blue's song "I Don't Know Why" is a story about a man who is in a toxic relationship with a woman who has the devil in her jaw. He is sick and tired of the way she treats him, so he threatens her with sprinkling goofer dust all around her bed, which is a form of African-American hoodoo magic used to cause harm. However, his girlfriend doesn't take his warning seriously and tells him not to say that. Despite her toxic behavior, he is still infatuated with her, and when he mentions that he has many women, his mother becomes concerned for him. The song ends with a conversation between the man and his girlfriend about smoking and sexual innuendos.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in several ways. One interpretation is that the man is in a toxic relationship with a woman who is manipulative, controlling, and emotionally abusive. She is depicted as having the devil in her jaw and wearing clothes made out of the best of cloth, suggesting that she is materialistic and superficial. The man is conflicted because he is still infatuated with her despite her toxic behavior towards him. He threatens her with hoodoo magic, which implies that he is desperate to break free from her clutches. However, his girlfriend doesn't take him seriously, which suggests that she is confident in her power over him.
Another interpretation is that the song is a commentary on gender roles and power dynamics in relationships. The man is depicted as being at the mercy of his girlfriend, who has the power to control him sexually and emotionally. He is frustrated and feels emasculated, which is reflected in his threatening words. However, his girlfriend is unfazed by his threats, suggesting that she is aware of her power over him. The conversation about smoking and sexual innuendos at the end of the song can be seen as a way for the man to assert his masculinity and regain some control over the situation.

Sick and tired by the way you do
I'm exhausted with the way you behave
Good time papa gonna poison you
I'll get back at you for your behavior
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
I'll curse you
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead
You'll get the consequences of your actions
She said you shouldn't say that
You shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to make you mad this time baby?
What did I do to make you angry?
She said umm
I don't know
My oh my oh my
Wow
She said I don't know but my baby's holding down
I don't know, but my partner is doing well
The woman I love has got devil in her jaw
The woman I love is trouble
Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She dresses well
She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall
She can do anything she wants with her clothes
She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall
She can be careless with them, but still retrieve them
Sometimes I think you got your habits on
I think you have some issues
She said You shouldn't say that
You shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to piss you off this time baby?
What did I do to anger you?
She said umm
I don't know
My oh my, I don't know
Wow, I don't know
But my baby's holding down
But my partner is still doing well
My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried
My mother warned me
She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got
You're too young to have multiple partners
I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile
I didn't react to her warning
Said If woman don't kill me I don't mind dying
I am content with whatever happens to me because of women
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
I want to save the woman I love for last
The woman I love, I have all class
The woman I love is classy
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
I warned you a long time ago
Better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go
Be careful, or we may have to break up
She said you shouldn't say that
You shouldn't say that
I said baby
I said
You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas
I see everything when you bend over
And when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year
When you move, I can see everything
She said Honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution
I quit smoking for my resolution
But I didn't give up smoking
But I still smoke
I said Woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel
Will you go out of your way for a cigarette?
Or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?
Or will you be like Chesterfield cigarettes and satisfy me?
She said That all depends on what your packing
It depends on what you have
Regular or king size
What size are we talking about?
Then she pulled out
Then she revealed herself
