I Don't Know Why I Love You
Joe Mac & Eman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you

Go to bed mad, fuss and fight
Wake up, make love middle of the night
I don't understand all the things you do
But baby I could never stay mad at you
And I think that this could last forever

[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
I don't know why you love me
But baby I'm glad that you do
And I'm wide awake to realize
That you were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Sometimes I think there's someone better for me
Who says and does things perfectly
A flawless someone warm and sweet
Then I realize you're right next to me
And I think that this could last forever, yeah

[Chorus]

The story of us goes on and on
And it's never gonna end 'cause it's much too
Strong, too strong

[Chorus]

I was meant for you
I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But




I I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But I do
