Wish I knew
Why I'm so in love with you
No one else in this world will do
Darling please save your love for me
Run away
If I were wise I'd run away
But like a fool in love I stay
And pray you'll save your love for me
I can feel it
Even when you're not here
Can't conceal it
I really love you my dear
And though I know no good
Can come from loving you
I can't do a thing I'm so in love with you
My darling
Help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
I know I'm lost but still I plead
Darling please save your love for me
You may have fun with the crowd
But for crying out loud
Darling please save your love for me
I can feel it
Even when you're not here
Can't conceal it
I really love you my dear
And though I know no good
Can come from loving you
I can't do a thing I'm so in love with you
My darling
Help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
I know I'm lost but still I plead
Baby please save your love for me
You may have fun with the crowd
But for crying out loud
Darling please save your love for me
Yeah, I wish I knew why I was so in love with you
Save your love, save your love for me, baby
My darling I wish I knew why I was so in love with you
