Well, you'd think by now my reckless days were over That runnin' with the crowd would wear me out With one woman in my pocket and another by my side Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why I put you in a place that's not so easy Even made you watch me tear your feelings down But it leaves me with a question that's unanswered in your eyes Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why Now once again I'm makin' you this promise That I'm gonna keep my love out of the streets With all of your heart you try to keep me honest Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why When you look at me, girl, tell me what you're seein' What do you see beyond these shallow lies? You're so close to the truth but still you go on believin' Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why Now once again I'm makin' you this promise That I'm gonna keep my love out of the streets With all of your heart you're gonna try to keep me honest Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why Tell me why you love me, baby, tell me why *
