ATell mAe aboDut it Egirl
What is this story, babe
That gift can't be taken
Why me
You think that I'm the one for you
I was born with a duffel on my back
Can we lighten up
Why me
I barely do the laundry
And I hate to wake up early
Can we lighten up, girl
Tell me...
Why this love, why this love
Why this love, are you sure that I'm the one
Why this love, that your heart is longing for
Why this love

Your love is like a fountain
But I will not dare to drink it
Can we lighten up
Tell me...
Why this love, why this love
Why this love, are you sure that I'm the one
Why this love, that your heart is longing for
Why this love
You got that little something
But I know what the feelings do
And you know I'll be good to you
I just live for the open road
But your love is a compliment
That I can't deny
