(I Don't Know Why) But I Do    (1961)

Don't know why I love you, but I do
I don't know why I cry so, but I do
I only know I'm lonely and that I want you only
I don't know why I love you, but I do

I can't sleep nights because I feel so restless
I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless
And since you've been away, I cry both night and day
I don't know why I love you, but I do

My days have been so lonely, my nights have been so blue
I don't know how I stand it, but I do

Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm wasting time, but I've got to clear my mind
I don't know why I love you, but I do

Lyrics by Paul Gayten and Bobby Charles (as Robert Guidry).
Recorded by Clarence "Frogman" Henry; The Walker Brothers.
