My man he goes by Joseph

Call him Joe if you don't know him

Find his hand with 2 bills folded, ordering a drink

And honest man, he's got no slogans

He smells good without cologne

And if you choose to go approach him, ask him what he thinks

About the other girls there, about the way he got here

About his last girlfriend, is he a working man, and what's the plan today

My man he knows these ropes, he'll always make his way back home

And so he thinks that I don't know, I simply smile and say

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. No, I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

Sometimes when I'm alone, I go online and I see who's home

Write letters to people that I don't know and never really will

I cruise photos of studio apartments

Choose a place, but never call them

For the first time money ain't the problem, I just got time to kill

I know why he's out there, and I know why he's not here

Why don't I care at all, I'm not sad, I applaud

I'm glad he doesn't call

My man he knows me so I up my game with welcome home

I smile the same, I play the role, and I always say

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. No, I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

Everlasting, unconditional is a passing thrill you all should know

I've been asking the 16 year old I used to be, she thinks that I should go

Do something unpredictable, out the safety zone, accident prone

But if you'd ask me 10 years from now, I'm positive that I'd still say

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. No, I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

I love you babe. I don't know why

No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why

But I love you babe

No, I don't know why. No I don't know why

But I love you babe
