Look at us, baby, up all night
Tearin’ our love apart
Aren’t we the same two people who live
Through years in the dark, ah

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can’t tell you why

When we get crazy, it just ain’t right
(Try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely too
You don’t have to worry, just hold on tight
(Don’t get caught in your little world)
‘Cause I love you

Nothing’s wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can’t tell you why, no, baby
I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can’t tell you why, no, no, baby
I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
