Don't know why I love you like I do, don't know why I do.
Don't know why I love you, don't know why I care
I just want your love to share

I wonder why, I love you like I do
Is it because I think you love me too
I wonder why, I love you like I do, like I do.

I told my friends that we would never part
They often said that you would break my heart
I wonder why they think that we will part, we will part

When you're with me, I'm sure you're always true
When I'm away, I wonder what you do
I wonder why I'm sure you're always true, always true

Don't know why I do.
