Lyrics
All day long you’re asking me what I see in you
All day long I’m answering, but what good does it do?
I have nothing to explain
I just love you, love you
And I’ll tell you once again
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
