It's only said to be kind
The time that you have with love
You're never told but you're loaned it
It's a lie, the high that you have with love
It feels like gold when you hold it
And know its sweet, to know when it's gone, baby
So why, why, why

Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved

Now the world falls apart
It starts with them acting up
I wouldn't say it, but I blame them
The bleeding hearts
The arts and thats other stuffs
All the same motivations will melt away
Like snowflakes on a tongue, baby
So why, why, why

Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

Why would you play it all on something
As hollow as trust (hey)
What if you gave it all to
Find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)
What if under the gaze of all
You come short when the going gets rough?

Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (ah)

They look for somethin' to be done
For those that are most in pain
What about me and my achin'?
The scales rehung
The breakin' of yoke and chain
What about me and my breakin'?
And if ain't for all
How could you try it all, baby?
So why, why, why

Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

Why would you play it all on something
As hollow as trust? (Hey)
What if you gave it all to
Find that it wasn't enough? (hey)
What if under the gaze of all,
You come short when the going gets rough?

Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin' (hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (ah)
