"I Don't Know Why" lyrics

I Don't Know Why

Check me out
I'm losing control
I wanna rock and roll
But everything I planed
Just sliped right through my hand, yeah
I don't know why

Hey I'm a nice guy
I wanna take it easy, baby
But every time I start
My world falls apart, yeah
I don't know why

The world is feeling
Like it's passing me by
I'm fixing to lose it
And I don't know why

Check me in
I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your lover, darling
But everything I say
Comes out the wrong way, yeah
I don't know why

So I guess I'll let it slide by
I wanna take it slowly, honey
I'm feeling like a fake
Every move I make, yeah
I don't know why

The world is feeling
Like it's passing me by
I'm fixing to lose it
And I don't know why

Again and again
And again and again I try
I'm fixing to lose it
And I don't know
I don't know
I don't know why

Everything I planed
Just sliped right through my hand, yeah
I don't know why

The world is feeling
Like it's passing me by
I'm fixing to lose it
And I don't know why

The world is feeling
Like it's passing me by
I'm fixing to lose it
And I don't know why

Hey, sugar
I'm fixing to lose it
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know why
