Kelly Willis Lyrics
"Don't Know Why"

History runs pretty deep with you and me
There were times we thought it ended
Times we fought out in the street

And baby, we, we knocked each other upside down
Yeah, the winds of change are blowing wide
Rumors got around

We rise and we fall
We get back up and try our luck
And I can't explain
What it is I feel, but I know it's real

I keep holding on to you, I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do
I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do

Don't know why but it happens every day
Some folks call it leaving
Some folks call it running away

Here I am and I'll say these words out loud
I always hope I'll find a way
One step from the crowd

We rise and we fall
We get back up and try our luck
And I can't explain
What it is I feel, but I know it's real

I keep holding on to you, I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do

We rise and we fall
We get back up and try our luck
And I can't explain
What it is I feel, but I know it's real

I keep holding on to you, I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do
I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do

I don't know
Why I gotta have you but I do
