And I don't know why I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why but somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where but there will be a place for you
And every time you look that way I would lay down my life for you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why but some are going to make you cry
And I don't know how but I will get you by, yes I will try

I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why the trees grow so tall
And I don't know why, well I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
I don't know why I love you

But I love you baby
Oh darlin, darlin, darlin

This cold black earth, baby
No I never, I never knew
How much love could hurt
Until I loved you baby
Till I loved you baby, baby
Oh baby, I can't stop

Here I'm pleadin on my knees
I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, help me please
Cause I love you, I love you baby
Sure enough, baby, yeah
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know none of us
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know, I don't know
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good,
Was getting so good with us.
I don't know why, was so good with us.
The room's so empty, the room's empty without you,
My body's so empty, the world's so empty without you.
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why, 'twas so good with us.
You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words.
You bastards!
I waited 'till I saw the sun,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I left you by the house of fun,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call...
When I saw the break of day,
I wished that I could fly away,
Instead of kneeling in the sand,
Catchin teardrops in my hand,
My heart is drenched in white,
You'll be on my mind forever,
I'd cross the endless sea,
I would die in ecstasy,
But I'll be a bag of bones,
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in white,
And you'll be on my mind forever,
Something has to make you wrong,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I didn't call I feel as empty as a drum,
I don't why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call...
This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
Is crystal clear
We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
Brought Us Here
We are stripped of all layers
We are getting to the core
Tell me something real and nothing more
'Cause I don't know why
I don't know how
And I don't know where
Maybe all I know is now
So I'm here between the bookends
Of everything that was and
What will be
There's a wealth of information
But not so many answers
It seems to me
So I face the unfamiliar
And nothing is clear
Only blinding faith can carry me from here
'Cause I don't know why
I don't know how
And I don't know where
Maybe all I know is now
Hold my hand and hold this moment
Time sure feels precious don't it
Life is always changing this I know
'Cause I don't know why
I don't know how
And I don't know where
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
I don't know why the sky is so blue
I don't know why I'm so in love with you
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why somewhere dreams come true
I don't know where we'll find a place for you
Every time you look that way I lay down my life for you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why sun can make you cry
I don't know how I'm bound to get you back, but I'll try
They don't mean to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why the trees grow so tall
I don't know why I don't know anything at all
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do, I do
Time passes by
Goes so fast then you die
It's enough just to be with you
You set your sights high
No regrets no goodbye
Just a face in your mind for the ones
Cross my heart
Cross my fingers
Cross my mind
Cross my path
Cross my heart
Hold my breath
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
I close my eyes
And I see your sweet smile
Been a while since you came and talked
Places I've been
And people I've seen
Simply pale into view when compared
Cross my heart
Cross my fingers
Hold my breath
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
"I really have to show you
I am so glad I know you
Now we are saying goodbyes
I,m not ashamed to cry
But Godknows the reason why
You have to leave
I don't know you must move on
I don't know why but all though you'll be
Gone
Youll stay with me eternally
And wherever you are
Even tough were apart
You will be in my heart
Instrumental
I wish I'd known you longer
I wish I'd felt you stonger
You got so much out of ligfe
That's why you were able to give
That's why you were able to live
A life with love
I don't know why fates unfair
I don't know why they need you up there
You have to leave and I will grieve
But I wish you my best
Because that's what you gave
I don't know why
The sky is so blue
And I don't know why
I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where
But there will be a place for you
And every time you look that way
I would lay down my life for you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But some are going to make you cry
And I don't know how
But I will get you by, I will try
They're not trying to cause you pain
They're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
The trees grow so tall
And I don't know why
I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
I don't know why I love you like I do
But baby I love you and always I'll be true
I know sometimes you treat me like a fool
Try to bend me to your rules but I love you all the same
'Cause when we're together and every thing's alright
I'm a king for the day
I don't know why I fall but don't fall down
But I never touch the ground whenever you're around
I don't know where we may be tomorrow
If you lead I will follow and we'll get there just the same
I'll always love you every day and night
Come and take me away
Can't you see that you're the only one and I'm open wide
You saved me from being a lonely one, you caught me inside
With a feeling I can't resist, you take me away
And I'll never get over this a king today
River, I'm swimming in a deep river
I hope that river is a long river
Well I know sometimes that you like to play
Messing with my mind but I love you anyway
I don't know why you say what you say
Every night I pray that you never go away
Well I know sometimes that you like to play
(It's a game you play)
Messing with my mind but I love you anyway
(I love you anyway)
I'm trying hard to say that I love you every day
(Despite the things you say)
But I'm hoping and I'm praying that you never go away
(never go away)
'Cause when we're together and every thing's alright
I'm a king for the day
And I'll always love you every day and night
I don't know why the sky is so blue
I don't know why I'm so in love with you
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why somewhere dreams come true
I don't know where we'll find a place for you
Every time you look that way I lay down my life for you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why sun can make you cry
I don't know how I'm bound to get you back, but I'll try
They don't mean to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why the trees grow so tall
I don't know why I don't know anything at all
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do, I do
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
Why you had to leave me
And i don't know why
You said goodbye
Only if i try
Can i feel the earth beneath me
And as days go by
I come alive
The fall of your hair
The feel of your skin
And the smile on your face
As you took me in
Now i lie
And stare at the sky
Still i wonder why
I don't know why
You said that you'd release me
No matter how i try
I still feel you
I watched a falling leaf
Drifting down towards me
Carried by the wind
It disappeared
I sat in disbelief
At what had become of me
And as the day grew dark
I rose to go
And as i walked along
I thought i heard you call me
Alas i was alone
So i went home
The fall of your hair
The feel of your skin
And the smile on your face
As you took me in
Now i lie
No longer cry
But still i wonder why
I don't know why
You were taken from me
I cannot forget
[Mia X & Mo B. Dick]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey yeah, ahh no
So much yeah, ooh
[Mia X singing]
There's so much trouble in my life
Sometimes it gets so bad I just breakdown and cry
I got my rent to pay and it's overdue
Don't wanna sale my body just to make it through
You see I can't depend upon no man
To be responsible or even understand
It's just the way it is at this point and time
Sometimes it gets so scared unless it blows my mind
Me and my homegirls, we got a plan
Every night at seven we'll take things in our own hands
Now we can play around, let's make some ends
I got my hustle on cause money's my best friend
[Verse 1: Mia X rapping]
I wanna be stress free, rest easy at night
But there's so much drama goin' on in my life
These days, nights missed get you labeled naive
And commons get taking for stupidity
So I keep my guard up in this macho world
Cause everybody's running game on mama's little girl
We getting babies from shady, wanna-be playas
Who wanna lay us, stick ya, hit ya, forget ya while we stay up
Crying till our eyes are swollen
Single mothers got the weight of the world on they shoulders
Want em' to hold us and tell us it's gon' be alright
Even the hardest sister needs a good man in her life
I paid the price and my life is still in a damper
After times of dirty dancing, get the babies pampers
And don't talk about the welfare and how they knock us
Knowing that chunp change can't provide nothing proper
While the doctors give us new-age birth control
They make the swollen to skinny
Bleeding constantly or missing monthly, scrapping pennies
While my kid's daddy slinging those Z's
But ain't doing shit for neither one of these
Should I ease up, grab a case, and set it off like Jada
Break with the paper, get in a comfort zone from pullin' capers
Makes us wanna holler, scream, and shout and say
Oh father, why I got live this way
[Chorus: Mo B. Dick & (Mia X)]
I don't know why I live this way (I don't know why I live this way)
I don't know why I live this way (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
I don't know why I live this way (I don't know why I live this way)
I don't know why I live this way (Don't know why, I live this way)
[Verse 2]
All my sisters keep ya head up, we ain't giving up without a fight
There's been a struggle but pretty soon we gonna bubble
Though trouble be knocking on my door like every 24-7
Heaven knows that I like to keep the bills in check and
Letting my kids down on they birthday
Gnaws at my heart and tears me apart
Can't let it go like this
Racing through the malls at Christmas time, Babylon
Got my mind on trip, December 25th ain't gotta bit
To do with Christ or his birth
Greedy devils give us pagan, holler
And profit off us give praise for better days
Better be ahead of what I said
Third, I can see I can destroy the mental chains on our enslaved brains
Cocaine, be the aim, be the means of profit
But logically it tells me I'm going to jail and getting killed
Oh well, I gotta do what I gotta
Until a new day when I don't have to ask why I live this way
Check me out.
Im losing control.
I wanna rock and roll.
But everything I planed just sliped right through my hand.
I dont know why.
Im a nice guy.
I wanna take it easy baby
But every time I start my world falls apart.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Check me in.
I wanna be your friend.
I wanna be your lover baby
But everything I say comes out the wrong way
I dont know why.
So I guess i'll let it slide by.
I wanna take it slowly honey.
I'm feelin' like a fake every move I make.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Again and again and again and again I try. im fixin to lose and I dont know why
Written by Billy Burnette.
Well I don't know why I hang out, hand
out all night long
Hang out all night long knowin' I'm doin'
my baby wrong
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
these blues
I don't know why but I do
I don't know why I gamble with my love
on the line
I put my love on the line but I get caught
every time
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
these blues
I don't know why but I do
Well I don't know why I do you like I do
When night after night all I want is you
I don't know why I keep singin'
these blues
I don't know why but I do
I don't know why I'm always tryin' to get
my baby back
Tryin' to get my baby back and keep this
train on the track
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
these blues
I don't know why but I do
Well I don't know why I do you like I do
When night after night all I want is you
I don't know why I keep singin'
these blues
Take me back in time, just before the warm sunrise
With your love inside of mine, you make my body shine
All the lonely rules were broken, one magic night
Chorus:
I don't know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want that feeling to stay
I don't know why
But I know it's the only way, whenever I hear you say
Come and hold me
I can see your face in my mind when your body moves so near
Love is crossing every line and all time just disappears
All the shut? doors were opened one magic night
I don't know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want this feeling to stay
I don't know why
But I know it's the only way, whenever I hear you say
Come and hold me
(Guitar solo)
Yeah
I don't know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want this feeling to stay
I don't know why
But I know it's the only way, whenever I hear you say
I'm comin' home to you baby
I feel like a child today
I don't know why
[Chorus]
Don't know why
You did what you did to me
Baby I just can't see
(Cause)
{Verse 1}
I just sit alone by myself
In my room where I cut myself
But there's no one out there who can help
Because nobody's ever felt what I've felt
When you left
You left all of these scars on my heart
It was so damaged that it fell apart
Baby you left my heart all full of holes
Now out of them is where all of my blood flows
I have lost so much of it now I'm feelin cold
It feels like you went out and grabbed a pole
And ran it through my body and left a hole
That's when you walked away from here and left me alone
Cause you felt like your job was done
I thought you were the one
I cut myself tons
Until my blood runs
Faster than bullets come outta guns
Baby you got me stunned
And this is no fun
Gotta die now cause I'm done
[Chorus]
{Verse 2}
Baby it's a shame
You had to bring this pain
Into my life
Cause now I sit up at night
In the corner
Give my wrists a slice
And every single night
And every single day
I tear my heart out
Sew myself up
After it's out
Throw it away
And the very next day
I get up, do it again
It's like a never-ending cycle
A game I never will win
And ever since you left me, I've been dying indefinately
Everyday I just wake up and I'm like "Pleas, somebody kill me!"
Just to free me from this pain
Cause I will never be the same
I dig until I hit a vein
And pour my blood down the drain
People say that I'm crazy but I say you made me insane
And baby you should be ashamed
Cause you're the only one to blame
You give love a bad name
You're just a player in love's game
In which the winner feels no shame
And the loser just gets pain
And it will always stay the same
Because there's never any change
There will always be a loser
In all of love's games
[Chorus]
{Verse 3}
I hate you now girl
You were my world
Now you're nothin to me
But you made me
Start cuttin my wrists on the daily
Can't save me
From myself
I think I need help
I need to stop cutting myself before I wind up in hell
Cause that's where I'll be sent
A world of torture and torment
But that's what I have now
So maybe I could live with it
Cause when you left
You comitted one last act of theft
You stole my heart and it will end up leading to my death
I can't take this anymore, you left me alone
So I waited a couple of days and called you up on the phone
All you said was "Goodbye" and then I heard a dial tone
And after I hung up the phone I began to write this song
The words came out my mouth like the blood comes out my wrists
So I wrote em down, recorded em, and it sounds like this
The words you're hearin now came straight from outta my heart
But if you were listenin really close youd've known that from the start
I think about you a lottake care I wanna do
And I wish I think about you all the time my life.
I think about you a lot take care, do you wannado?
Of course I know your situation backwards too
See my eyes, (in my eyes) see my lips (in mylips), See my face
(I would like to know what you really think I wanna)
I don't know why I don't know why I love you baby
I don't know why I don't know how to put it baby, I don't know how to do
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news I don't care I'munderstand
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news world you mindlook at me boo
I think about you a lot take care I wanna do
And I wish, don't be silly she is popular
I think about you a lot take care, do you wannado?
Everyday I want you in my life all about you
See my eyes, (in my eyes) see my lips (in mylips), See my face
(I would like to know what you really think Iwanna)
I don't know why I don't know why I love you baby
I don't know why I don't know how to put it baby, I don't know how to do
Rap:
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news I don't care I'munderstand
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news world you mindlook at me boo
In my eyes in my lips, See my face
I would like to know what you really think I wanna

Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news I don't care I'munderstand
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
(Shawn Colvin)
I don't know why
the sky is so blue
And I don't know why
I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know where
but somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where
but there will be a place for you
And everytime you look that way
I would lay down my life for you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
but some are going to make you cry
And I don't know why
but I will get you by, I will try
They're not trying to cause you pain
They're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
the trees grow so tall
And I don't know why
I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music
Then I would not get trough
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
I don't know why I have to cry sometimes, I don't know why I have to sigh sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way, I don't know why, but I'll find out by and by.
I don't know why I stand in need sometimes I don't know why Lord my poor heart bleeds sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way. I don't know why but I'll find out by and by.
You know the Lord he moves in mysterios ways, His wonders they are to perform. He plants his footsteps way out on the sea. You know he rides out, on every storm. His ways they are hard to understand sometimes no matter how hard we try. Sometimes I wonder why he lets somethings happen to me. ohh I'll find out by and by.
I don't know why I have to cry sometimes, I don't know why I have to sigh sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way, I don't know why, but I'll find out by and by.
I don't know why I stand in need sometimes I don't know why Lord my poor heart bleeds sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way. I don't know why but I'll find out by and by.

Hey, you know just how to hurt me
And how to take all my fears away
Girl, you must be the devil in disguise
There were times I thought you knew
That I was so afraid of you
There? s some kind of madness in your eyes
Well, you know a place buried deep in my heart
Nobody else could see
Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me
I don? t know why I keep coming back to you, baby, oh, no
I don? t know why I keep coming back to you, oh, no
I don? t know why I keep coming back to you, baby, oh, no
I don? t know why I keep coming back to you, oh
So in love, so in love with the games that you play
So in love, nothing can take me away
No, no, no, no, wait now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Lady, whoa
You got a way of confusing a heart
Nobody else could know
Why should I try, I don? t wanna get over you, no, no, no, no

And to take all my fears away, oh

And, there were times I thought you knew
That I was so afraid of you
[Intro: Janet Jackson "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" sample]
Where it all went? Time passed us by
Just when, it seemed, the fun, began
[Chorus: Janet Jackson "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" sample]
Funny, how, time, flies, when, you're, having, fun. ooh baby
Funny, how, time, flies, when, you're, having, fun, oh baby, I don't know why
[Cno Evil:]
I love hip hop so much
I don't need to cuss, with rhymes, I bust, but
(But why) Do I love hip hop so much
Is it cause it's relaxin', causes so much attraction
(But why) Do I love hip hop forever
Or is it just a phase, do I ever get my raise, and
(But why) Do I love hip hop, or does it love me
Was I born with skills, that's why it's so easy?
(But why) Do I love hip hop so much, in a crunch
I can make instrumentals in a bunch and
(But why) Does this beat moan on the track
Makin' love to the drums, put my snare on the hi-hat
(But why) Did I put the bass all in her face
Now mush it all together, she breathes during the space, and
(But to me) Ooooooh, oh my God
I think I just created a brand new song
(Why) Did she say to do it slow?
She likes it from the back, when the drum gently rolls
(But why) Does she love when I spit in the mic
Rophone, all alone, at home, in a zone
(But why) Does time, keep on slippin'
The fun is just beginning, I thought that I was winnin'
(But why) Do I love hip hop, and it's too late
To break away, cause I was born in that mind state
(But why) Oh my god, I think that I'm in love
Get away from that fool, he's all of the above
(But why) He's in it for the sex, money and drugs
Back away from that fool, before he grabs the glove
(But why) Would he go O.J., on my favorite girl
He thinks of you of as a piece of land
(But to me) but to me, you're a whole world
And in 19 years, you defined that word
[Chorus]
[Li-Mouse:]
Aiyo, Cno, send me that new beat you created
Four seconds in, and I already related
Smooth sounds, that'll send chills down your spine
Make you cool when times get tough at the grind
Funny how times flies by when you're having fun
But moves so slow when you're trynna get a bread crumb
Hold up and just, look at your surrounding
Seek the Earth and sky, even if it's corny sounding
Choose paths, with the least resistance
Money grows, on the tree of persistance
Aggression, love, happiness, and fear
Containted in hip hop so, you can hear
How someone like me, is just like you
Going through school, look back to see how I grew
Sunny days, doing research paper
Saying this better get an A, my lord savior
Haha, yeah I'm still going through that
Expectations make it hard, so you sit back
Screw this paper, and forget this class
I hate the teacher, and I ain't never gonna pass
Hold up, guy, and take that deep breath
Minimize MS Word, have fun to relieve stress
Don't put it off for too long though
Come back refreshed, all dressed, so you can resume your flow
Bang out that paper in like an hour or two
File, print, Ok, now you go chill with your crew
You blink twice, and you up on that stage
Square hats and all that, flip the next page
Think back when you was at the desk, all vexed
That one breath, put clarity to the text
New chapter, what will you do next?
Get the career job, receive your fat monthly checks
i'm so afraid of losing you
i don't know what to do
i'm so afraid you'll change your mind
and tell me that we're through
and so i go from day to day
careful of each word i say
and every night i kneel and pray
you'll love me one more day
i'm so afraid of losing you
because i love you so
and that is why each time we kiss
i just can't let you go
so forgive my arms
for clinging so
and forgive me when i can't let go
but i can't let go because i'm so afraid of losing you
la da da da...
so forgive my arms
for clinging so
and forgive me when i can't let go.
(einz, treinz, three four)(1, 2, 3, 4 in German)
Please take all that I give, for I could never live
Without you
My heart would change it's hue, a shade forever blue
Without you
These two are one
Don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why you
love me
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why
you care
But I'll try
With all of my might
Now that familiar story, of love's forbidden glory
Is playing on my mind again
First my heart says I could, then my soul says I should
They're doing that to me again
More than your eyes, or the skies
We'll find the truth wherever it lies
More than the fears, or the tears
We shall count on love through the years
Because it's all in the name of love
So won't you enter my, enter my, enter my, enter my,
enter my heart
Oh, can't you see what you do to me
Oh, can't you see you're getting through to me
Despite all that I've learned, I always seem concerned
About you
And though I'm fond of blue, that shade will never do
Around you
These two are one
Don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why you
love me
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why
you care
So I'll try hard
With all of my might
I won't give up the fight, and I won't lose the sight
And I'll try hard
With all of my might
I won't give up the fight, I won't lose sight
Never happy, not satisfied
Always complains for nothing
Hopes and dreams are fading away
It's not hard to figure it out
There's no doubt, you'll find a way
Live the moment, each and every day
REFRÃO
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me (in front of me)
Now I see here
It's always been there
People like their simple things
Live the moment, each and every day
REFRÃO
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me (in front of me)
Is it there?
Is it right there?
Right in front of you (right in front of you)
This is what you've been looking for
For a long, long time
Make it real, make it right now (make it right now,
make it right now)
You've got to live it now
REFRÃO
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
Evil minds and bodies got hold of the feelings
I don't have anymore
So do try to forgive the excuses and silly lies i tell
I've forgot the joy of living for somebody to love
giving them all
The stolen kisses, the forbidden words
that nobody wants to say, nobody wants to say
[CHORUS]
I don't know why my own ego is lying
I don't know why i deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
I don't know why, i don't know why
Free from passion I've become a slave of myself
Free and not feeling love
Cynicism put you in a second place with me
And nothing is gonna change
Mental chaos is keeping me from being certain
of what i am looking for
Only you can make me understand
what nobody wants to say, nobody wants to say
[CHORUS]
I don't know why my own ego is lying
I don't know why i deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
Help me trying to stop my dying
Give me reason and be my guide
I'll never pretend again and again... if you help me...
[CHORUS]
I don't know why my own ego is lying
I don't know why i deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
I don't know why, i don't know why
I don't know why my own ego is lying
I don't know why i deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
I don't know why I have to cry sometimes, I don't know why I have to sigh sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way, I don't know why, but I'll find out by and by.
I don't know why I stand in need sometimes I don't know why Lord my poor heart bleeds sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way. I don't know why but I'll find out by and by.
You know the Lord he moves in mysterios ways, His wonders they are to perform. He plants his footsteps way out on the sea. You know he rides out, on every storm. His ways they are hard to understand sometimes no matter how hard we try. Sometimes I wonder why he lets somethings happen to me. ohh I'll find out by and by.
I don't know why I have to cry sometimes, I don't know why I have to sigh sometimes. But there's gonna be a perfect day trouble get outta my way, I don't know why, but I'll find out by and by.
I don’t know why, I was just younger then,
Seemed like everything would be explained,
I told myself I’d turn the tide around,
My friends and I would break the chain.
Oh, doing things we swore we’d never do,
Running around, erasing every clue,
Doing things we swore we’d never do,
Look at what’s been happening, it’s happening to you.
Ooh, oh.
So much we hoped for went up in flames,
I guess the smoke got in my eyes,
Can perfect passion stand the light of day?
These things I know, can I realise?
Oh, doing things we swore we’d never do,
Running around, erasing every clue,
Doing things we swore we’d never do,
Look at what’s been happening; it’s happening to you.
Ooh, oh,
Ooh, oh.
I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why…
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (doing things we
swore we’d never do)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (doing things we
swore we’d never do)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (doing things we
swore we’d never do)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (ooh, the little
things, all the little things)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (doing things we
swore we’d never do)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (doing things we
swore we’d never do)
Doing things we swore we’d never do, (ooh, the little
things, all the little things)
I don't know why you're going to leave
I hear you tellin' how you need to be free
But there will be a time
that you need my hand
a new beginnin' or is this the end?
Though you believe in whatever may lie
In those things only money can buy
I was happy with a man like you
and I hardly believe that it's true
and told me twice you needed to be free
was it so hard to share it with me?
Don't you pretend that you'll soon be gone
in the end we all stand alone
Pretty baby so you wanna be free
Pretty baby then you don't need me
so come on baby pack your things and go
come on baby , don't put on a show
I was happy with a man like you
and I hardly believe that it's true
you told me twice, you needed to be free
was it so hard to share it with me?
Though you believe in whatever may lie
in those things only money can buy
don't you prentend that you'll soon be gone
in the end we all stand alone
Pretty baby so you wanna be free
Pretty baby then you don't need me
so come on baby pack your things and go
I think about you a lottake care I wanna do
And I wish I think about you all the time my life.
I think about you a lot take care, do you wannado?
Of course I know your situation backwards too
See my eyes, (in my eyes) see my lips (in mylips), See my face
(I would like to know what you really think I wanna)
I don't know why I don't know why I love you baby
I don't know why I don't know how to put it baby, I don't know how to do
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news I don't care I'munderstand
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news world you mindlook at me boo
I think about you a lot take care I wanna do
And I wish, don't be silly she is popular

Rap:
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this

Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news world you mindlook at me boo
In my eyes in my lips, See my face
I would like to know what you really think I wanna
You don't know why, you don't know why I brotherwith you

Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
She is not fussed about my news I don't care I'munderstand
Long time no see anything new down your way canyou hear this
I don't know why I'm tattered and torn
Don't know why I'm the object of scorn
Don't know why I keep playing the fool
Held up to ridicule
I don't know why I've got a monkey on my back
I said, "Come on now, cut me some slack"
Sometimes I think it's all too much to bear
But then again I'm too lazy to care
I don't know why - I don't know why
I like to rock - I don't like to cry
Flying blind - I don't have a clue
I don't know why I love you but I do
I don't know why I look so strange
I'm hoping that it's subject to change
Don't know why you got under my skin
I built a wall but it's paper thin
I'm unschooled in self-defense
Completely lacking in common sense
What's your secret? What's your trick?
I should know by now but the lessons don't stick
I don't know why I'm seeing double
I don't know why I'm always in trouble
Don't know why I'm viewed with disdain
I stand accused of raising Cain
There you go trying to catch my eye
I know how to dance but I'm kind of shy
I might be persuaded to step out on the floor
