I don't know why
Fred Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All day long you're asking me what I see in you
All day long I'm answering but what good does it do?
I have nothing to explain

I just love you, love you, and I'll tell you once again
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, you just do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing




I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fred Ahlert's song I Don't Know Why express the complexity of love and its inexplicable nature. The singer's lover is constantly questioning why the singer is in love with them and the singer is unable to provide a rational explanation. Despite being bombarded with questions, the singer conveys that they simply love their partner and that there is no need for explanation.


The repetition of the phrase "I don't know why" emphasizes the enigmatic quality of love and how it defies logical explanation. The singer's statement "I just love you, love you, and I'll tell you once again" conveys a sense of frustration with having to repeat an answer that they know cannot be adequately expressed through words. The line "you never seem to want my romancing, the only time you hold me is when we're dancing" further adds to the conundrum of the relationship, indicating that the lover may not reciprocate the singer's romantic advances, yet there still exists an intense connection that cannot be ignored.


Overall, the lyrics to I Don't Know Why highlight the struggle of trying to make sense of an emotion that inherently defies understanding. They suggest that love is not always rational or explainable, but rather a feeling that simply exists and must be accepted for what it is.
