Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I feel this way
Baby, I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I feel this way
That's why I'm thinking 'bout you baby
24 hours every day

Baby, my days and nights are lonely
I need your lovin' everyday
Baby, my days and nights are lonely
I need your lovin' everyday...oh, yeah




That's why I'm thinking 'bout you baby
24 hours every day
