Why Do I Love You

Why do I love you
Why do I love you
Oh I give myself away
I give myself away
I had it coming
For holding on to nothing
Oh knowing you won't change
You'll never feel the same
Oh but I'm so weak
I've lost my strength
To fight such a liar
That's filled me with desire
Why do I miss you
I'm dying just to kiss you
I give myself away
I don't want to give myself away
SOLO
Oh but I'm so weak
I've lost my strength
To fight such a liar
That's filled me with desire
Why do I love you
Why do I love you
Oh I give myself away
I don't want to give myself away
Well I'd still give myself away
Why do I love you
