about

“I Don’t Know Why” is the third track on side 1, written and performed by soft pop singer Larry Santos, taken from his fifth album, “You Are Everything I Need”.

It should have been a hit of 1976 instead of “Honky Tonk Angel” by Cliff Richard.

lyrics

I don't know why I love like I do
I don't know why
I can't get away from you
Maybe it's the way you kiss
Maybe it's the way you love
Maybe it's the way you play with soul

Chorus:
I don't know why I have believed your lies
I don't know why
You've got me hypnotized
Baby, it's a crying shame
To you, love is just, just a game
Well, I've got this craven need for your love
I don't know why

You made a man from a boy
And you watched me grow
How can you destroy
Every dream I'll ever know? I don't know

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why
I'll never get over you
Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Maybe it's the way you love me
Maybe it's the way you play with soul

Repeat Chorus
