Why, Why, Why

I never let my guard down,
I'm known to be a cautious man,
I ain't got much to lose if I never take a chance,
I ain't had much luck at loving her,
That's what keeps me on my toes,
I keep my shoestrings tied up tight,
I keep both eyes on the road...so

Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time

I go out of my way not to stray into her part of town,
There ain't no shortcuts takin' the long way around,
I keep goin' 'round in circles,
But I can't drive away her memory,
I try to take a left turn,
But I'm right back where I used to be...so

Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time

Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time
