Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love Is Love
I don't know why I even try baby
But your love is so good I keep coming right back to you
I don't know why I even try baby
But your love is so good I keep coming right back to you
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
But I keep coming right back
When we gone turn the page
When you gone finally listen to me
We both got our share of mistakes
Ain't gotta make it harder than it gotta be
You say I'm too emotional but
Then get mad when I don't give ah fuck
Oh I try not to take it personal
Cause that's what most niggaz do
Make it like it's all you
You insist this is ah game
You most have the controller
I don't know why I even try baby
But your love is so good I keep coming right back to you
I don't know why I even try baby
But your love is so good I keep coming right back to you
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
But I keep coming right back
Call me crazy but I like it here
I lose my mind just to have you near
So you can give it to me take it all back
I ain't running I'll be coming right back
Then you say I'm too emotional but
But then get mad when I don't give ah fuck
Oh I try not to take it personal
Cause that's what most niggaz do
Make it like it's all you
You insist this is ah game




I don't know why
But I keep coming right back
