Because I Love You


Because I Love You

 

If you are the best thing

Why do you hate the way I sing?

Why don’t you sweep me off my feet

Except when you’ve had too much to drink?

If you are the best thing

Why is it too much trouble to buy me a ring?

Why make me watch what I eat

Why hit me when I’m asleep

 

If you are the best thing

Why don’t I soundly sleep

Why don’t I get swept off my feet

Why don’t you love me like he loves me?

 

If you are the best thing

Why can’t I see the reality

Listen when they tell me

That you and I should not be

 

It is because I think you the best thing

That I let you hit me when I’m asleep

That I stay quiet with the radio on

That I’m not really me

Where I wish all of this was just a dream

Because I Love You
