Why, why me, baby?

What did I do, girl, what did I do?

Why, why me, baby?

You broke my heart

Check this out, honey

It seems like ninety years have gone by

Since the last time I talked to you, you know

I never realized that somethin' so innocent and so sweet

Could make a man feel so much pain

Times you'd jump out of my car and I'd chase you till I was out of breath

Go to your job and pick you up, but you never showed up that day

Where were you, baby?

Who was you seein', it's a hurtin' feelin', sure

How could you, why would you abuse my love, sweetheart?

Cursin' me out in front of my friends

And I could never do anything to you

'Cause there was no way I could hurt somethin' I treasured so much

Thought I was right on time, but it seems like I was too late

You hurt me, baby

But hey, I'm man enough to admit it

What I wanna know is, why?

Why, why me, baby?

Tell me baby

You broke my heart, baby

Check this out

Why?

Yo', the way it happened was crazy

We had a argument, I didn't see you for two or three days

And then when I go to the movies to get you off my mind

I see you sittin' there holdin' hands with the next man

Caught you on the phone a couple of times

But it was always your cousin

Step off

Just a friend

People used to tell me, "ah, she was fakin'''

But I couldn't see it, I was blinded by love

Nothin' was too expensive

No night was too rainy

I was always there for you

I did things few call me a fool for doin'

Droppin' your friends off, all that

All I wanted in return was your undivided attention and love

If my heart had eyes it would cry

You're the center of my world

Life is worth livin' love

Tell 'em what time it is

I walk around

Talkin' to myself

Thinkin' everything is nothin'

Am I goin' crazy, baby?

I look at the photograph that we once shared

And think about the moment, yeah, yeah

About each other

Remember the poems I used to say to you, girl

There's a right and a wrong way to love somebody

I'll always give all my love to you

I'm on a merry go round and round

Girl, how deep is your love?

I've got to go outside in the rain

It's not too late to make it last forever

Why, why, why, why me?, no, no, no, no, no, somethin' natural

Oh, girl, I'll never, never, never, never, never, never understand
