I Don’t Know Why Lyrics

[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

[Verse 1]
Always treats me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down, that's your rule

I don't know why I love you
But I love you, ooooooh

[Verse 2]
Oh you never stop your cheating ways
With another guy, you laugh in my face
Lord how long must I be disgraced
Because I love you

Oh baby, baby, baby

[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
I don't know
You and me baby, oh
I don't know why I love you baby
But I love you baby
Oh darling, darling, darling
[Verse 3]
You throw my heart down in the dirt
You made me crawl on, on this cold black earth, baby
No I never, I never knew how much love could hurt
Till I loved you baby

Till I loved you baby, baby

[Verse 4]
Oh baby, I can't stop
I can't stop crying, can't you see
Here I'm pleading on my knees
I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, help me please
Because I love you, how I love you baby, whoahhh
Sure enough, baby, yeah

[Outro]
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know nothin' about it
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know baby, I don't know
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
You don't know nothing about it
Nobody can do nothing about it
I don't know baby

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

I Don’t Know Why was a song written by Stevie Wonder for his 1968 album titled For Once In My Life


The song is a magnificent work of Wonder that expresses the complexity of the relationship Wonder bellows about in the song.


The hit television show Scandal’s S2E4,Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, gives a perfect visual representation of the tension and frustration Wonder croons on this track of a dysfunctional relationship.
