Lyrics
I don’t know why
I don’t know why my heart skips a beat
Every time I get a text from you,
It’s not like we’ve got a deep connection,
It’s not like you show me your affection,
It’s not like I even really know you…
One thing I know – all this makes me feel blue
So why oh why oh why do I want you?
I’m confused, so confused
Is it all a ruse to control me?
You’re hot, you’re cold, it’s getting old
Today’s the day for letting go of daydreams
I don’t know why my heart skip a beat
Every time I get a text from you,
It’s not like we’ve got a deep connection,
It’s not like you show me your affection,
It’s not like I even really know you…
All I know is all this makes me feel blue
So why oh why oh why do I want you
I am done, I’m so done
This isn’t any fun any longer
You’re hot , you’re cold, it’s getting old
Today’s the day for letting go of daydreams
I don’t know why my heart skip a beat
Every time I get a text from you,
It’s not like we’ve got a deep connection,
It’s not like you show me your affection,
It’s not like I really even know you…
All I know is all this makes me feel blue
So why oh why oh why do I want you?
Preprogrammed, like innocent lambs
Lambs to be led to the slaughter,
Hearts of gold, roam this world so cold
Welcome home your prodigal daughter

Comments:
Try using near rhymes rather than perfect ones. It will give you more options so you don’t need tor rhymes “you and blue” unless that’s really what you mean.
