no telling why

i can see by that look on your face

you despise all the tears

you've had to embrace

and i can tell by that look in your eye

there's no telling why

there's no telling why

oh

i really love you

i do so desperately

and i'll never be above you

you're all there is to me

running off

with another man's wife

but when love takes control

of your soul

there's no telling why

i can't help feeling sorry for us both

we are victims of a crime

we otherwise loathe

and for as long as we live

till we die

there's no telling why

there's no telling why

oh

pretty baby

you've got me on a limb

and you know you drive me crazy

for you i'd do most anything

having stolen you from someone

who loves you no less than i

it's amazing how love takes control

and there's no telling why
