Don't Ask Me Why

(Joan Hager)



Don't ask me why I stand aside

And watch her break every rule

Why I close my eyes to her schemes and lies

And play the part of a fool.



Don't ask me why I love her still

After all she's done to me

After deceiving me and leaving me

With a heart full of misery.



You might as well ask me why I breathe

Or why I live at all

I only know I must be there

To answer if she calls.



Don't ask me why I hang around

Why I keep standing by

But if you want to know I'll say I love her so

Though I don't know the reason why.
