[Intro]

No, no, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Every time I rise and fall

It's when I though I'd seen it all

But my back's still up against the wall

At first it was good to go

Then you turned around and said "no, no"

And as I'm walking out the door, she said:

Did you learn your lesson well?

Don't you go kiss and tell

Is it heaven or is it hell?

[Bridge]

Say it ain't true

I'm just a sucker for you

[Chorus]

Why do I do?

I get on the same old ride

Why do I do?

The things that I know ain't right?

Why do I do?

I trip on the same old lines

Why do I do that to myself? Oh why?

[Verse 2]

Here I go down this road again

Like a fool I keep jumping in

Must be lovin' this punishment

But the day's gonna come around

She'll be calling my name out loud

But the table's gonna turn her down

And I'll say

Did you learn your lesson well?

Did you feel the pain I felt?

There ain't no hope in hell

[Bridge]

Say it ain't so

But I'm helplessly, hopelessly broke

[Chorus]

Why do I do?

I get on the same old ride

Why do I do?

The things that I know ain't right?

Why do I do?

I trip on the same old lines

Why do I do that to myself? Oh why?

[Verse 3]

Back to front and front to back

The way she's got me tightly wrapped

Around her finger, around her finger

Side to side and up to down

The way she got me spinnin' round

Falling down just to please her

I need her, I breathe her

[Bridge]

I give her all I have

I know it's bad

There ain't no turning back

[Chorus 3x]

Why do I do?

I get on the same old ride

Why do I do?

The things that I know ain't right?

Why do I do?

I trip on the same old lines

Why do I do that to myself? Oh why?
