Don't Know Why I Do It - Mark Chesnutt

Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup

And discovered that you got no reason staying up

Right at the moment when

The caffine is kickin' in

So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call

Then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk

You remember what you dumped her for

And you wish you hadn’t opened that door

I do it and I don’t know why

Hate to admit it but I think that I

Got something rollin' round loose inside

That never was screwed down tight

I don’t know why I do it

But I do it all the time

Have you ever worked hard

To line your pockets with dough

Then let a little girl and love start burning a hole

Knowing that she’ll break your heart

And max out your credit cards

I do it and I don’t know why

Hate to admit it but I think that I

Got something rollin' round loose inside

That never was screwed down tight

No, I don’t know why I do it

But I do it all the time

Have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she’s the one

And you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done

You can tell she loves you so much

You have to go and screw it up

I do it and I don’t know why

Hate to admit it but I think that I

Got something rollin' round loose inside

That never was screwed down tight

No, I don’t know why I do it

I do it, I do it, I do it

I do it and I don’t know why

I got a habit of wreckin' my life

Keep leaning left when I want to go right

You know it isn’t like I haven’t tried

I don’t know why I do it

But I do it all the time

(Why do it, Don’t know why I do it)

I don’t know why I do it

But I do it all the time…
