Why (Must We Fall In Love) - Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Temptations

For so long we share each other’s lives

Gave up everything to keep love satisfied

Baby, the air that I breathe you will take when you leave

All because of something small

Like the day I missed your call

I tried to get in touch with you

When I finally did, you said we’re through.

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why

When it takes so long to make it And no time at all to break it off.

Then you walked away I just stood there numb

I had nothing to say

Into the night you walked away with my life

And feeling almost half my size

I looked up and the heaven’s eyes

Smile was gone we used to see

She knew that you were standing there with me.

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why

When it takes so long to make it And no time at all to break it off.

One day up, then the next day down

Love will keep you going like a merry go round

(To keep you hurting, hurting)

You both tried night and day from the start

To keep your love from falling apart

(To keep you hurting, hurting)

Then all at once you left one out

And love walks out the door

You’re searching baby, for something else

You’ll never find that thing you have before

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why

When it takes so long to make it And no time at all

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
