Why Me Baby (Feat. L.L. Cool J.) Lyrics
Keith Sweat
Lyrics
(Why, why me, baby) Girl, I need to know why
(Why me, baby) What did I do, girl, what did I do
(Why, why me, baby)
You broke my heart
Check this out, honey
It seems like 99 years have gone by
Since the last time I talked to you, you know
I never realized that somethin so innocent and so sweet
Could make a man feel so much pain
Times you'd jump out of my car and I'd chase you till I was out of breath
Go to your job and pick you up
But you never showed up that day
Where were you, baby
Who was you seein, it's a hurtin feelin, sugar
How could you, why would you abuse my love, sweetheart
Cursin me out in front of my friends
And I could never do anything to you
Cause there was no way I could hurt somethin I treasured so much
Thought I was right on time, but it seems like I was too late
You hurt me, baby
But hey, Im man enough to admit it
What I wanna know is why
(Why, why me, baby) {Tell me why, baby, tell me why}
(Why, why me, baby) Tell me, baby
(Why, why me, baby) Tell me, baby
You broke my heart, baby {Check this out}
(Why)
Yo, the way it happened was crazy
We had a argument
I didn't see you for two or three days
And then when I go to the movies to get you off my mind
I see you sittin there holdin hands with the next man
Caught you on the phone a couple of times, but it was always your cousin
Step off, just a friend
People used to tell me, L, she was fakin
But I couldnt see it, I was blinded by love
Nothin was too expensive
No night was too rainy
I was always there for you
I did things few call me a fool for doin
Droppin your friends off, all that
All I wanted in return was your undivided attention and love
If my heart had eyes it would cry
Youre still in my world
Life is worth livin love
Tell me why
(Why, why me, baby) Why would you do it to me, baby, yeah, yeah
(Why, why me, baby) You hurt me so bad when you left me, baby
(Why, why me, baby)
You broke my... heart, baby {Tell em what time it is, Keith}
(Why) {Tell em what time it is}
I walk around talkin to myself
Do another day gets nothin
Am I goin crazy, baby
I look at the photograph that we once shared
And think about the moment, yeah, yeah
About each other
Remember the poems I used to say to you, girl
There's a right and a wrong way to love somebody
Ill always give all my love to you
Im on a merry-go-round and round
Girl, how deep is your love
Ive got to go outside in the rain
Its nice to believe that we can last forever
Why, why, why, why me
No, baby, no, baby, no, baby, no, baby, no, baby
No, no, no, no, no
Somethin natural
Ooh, do you know, do you know how much I love you
You were my woman and I was your man
Oh, girl, I'll never, never, never, never, never, never understand
