No Telling Why

I can see by that look on your face
You despise all the tears
You've had to embrace
And I can tell by that look in your eye
There's no telling why
There's no telling why
Oh, I really love you
I do so desperately
And I'll never be above you
You're all there is to me
Running off
With another man's wife
But when love takes control
Of your soul
There's no telling why
I can't help feeling sorry for us both
We are victims of a crime
We otherwise loathe
And for as long as we live
Till we die
There's no telling why
There's no telling why
Oh, pretty baby
You've got me on a limb
And you know you drive me crazy
For you I'd do most anything
Having stolen you from someone
Who loves you no less than I
It's amazing how love takes control
And there's no telling why
