Je ne sais pas pourquoi Lyrics
Rain falling down
Another minute passes by
I'll wait for you
But this time I won't cry
Where are you now?
Are you with another love?
It's not the first time
You stood me up and let me down
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm wondering why
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
[Verse 2]
Lights about town
Expect me just to hang around
And you never call
You just stand me up and let me down
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm wondering why
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
(I, I, I, I)
All through the night
I wanted you to come around
I wait too long
I know you're gonna let me down
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm wondering why
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi

On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 11th best single, saying:
A lot of Kylie’s early singles suffer from the application of Stock Aitken and Waterman’s blaring, cheap, one-size-fits-all production, which has dated horribly, but Je Ne Sais Pas Pourqoui saw them dial down the tinniness to something approaching subtlety: it also had a genuinely lovely tune.
On November 1, 1988, “Je ne sais pas pourquoi” was certified Silver by the BPI for selling 200k copies in the UK.
