don't know why i do it

have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup

and discovered that you got no reason staying up

right at the moment when

the caffine is kickin' in. so you break down and give an old girlfriend a call

then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk

you remember what you dumped her for

and you wish you hadn't opened that door. i do it and i don't know why

hate to admit it but i think that i

got something rollin' round loose inside

that never was screwed down tight

i don't know why i do it

but i do it all the time. have you ever worked hard

to line your pockets with dough

then let a little girl and love start burning a hole

knowing that she'll break your heart

and max out your credit cards. i do it and i don't know why

hate to admit it but i think that i

got something rollin' round loose inside

that never was screwed down tight

no

i don't know why i do it

but i do it all the time. have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she's the one

and you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done

you can tell she loves you so much

you have to go and screw it up. i do it and i don't know why

hate to admit it but i think that i

got something rollin' round loose inside

that never was screwed down tight

no

i don't know why i do it

i do it

i do it

i do it

i do it and i don't know why

i got a habit of wreckin' my life

keep leaning left when i want to go right

you know it isn't like i haven't tried

i don't know why i do it

but i do it all the time. i don't know why i do it

but i do it all the time.
