Why Do I Love You
Westlife · World Of Our Own [2001]
Suddenly she's leaving
Suddenly the promise of love has gone
Suddenly breathing seems so hard to do
Carefully you planned it
I got to know just a minute too late oh girl
Now I understand it
All the times we, made love together
Baby you were thinking of him
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
Ain't gonna show no weakness
I'm gonna smile and tell the whole world I'm fine
I'm gonna keep my senses
But deep down where no one can hear me
Baby I'll be crying for you
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
Can't go back
Can't erase
Baby your smiling face
Oh no, I can't think of nothing else
but you (else but you) suddenly
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue.... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
Suddenly the promise of love has gone
Suddenly breathing seems so hard to do
Carefully you planned it
I got to know just a minute too late oh girl
Now I understand it
All the times we, made love together
Baby you were thinking of him
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
Ain't gonna show no weakness
I'm gonna smile and tell the whole world I'm fine
I'm gonna keep my senses
But deep down where no one can hear me
Baby I'll be crying for you
Why do I love you?
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do?
Like I always do
You should have told me
Why did you have to be untrue... ?
(Love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do?
