Why (Must We Fall In Love)

For so long we shared each other's lives

Gave up everything to keep love satisfied

Baby, the air that I breathe

You will take when you leave

All because of something small

Like the day I missed your call

I tried to get in touch with you

When I finally did, you said we're through

(Didn't mean to hurt you, how I'm gonna miss you)

Why (Why) must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh, tell me why

(Why) When it takes so long to make it (So long to make it)

And no time at all to break it off

Then you walked away, I just stood there numb

I had nothing to say

Into the night you walked away with my life

And feeling almost half my size

I looked up into heaven's eyes

Smile was gone and used to see

She knew that you were standing there all with me

(

Didn't mean to hurt you, how I'm gonna miss you

)[Chorus: The Supremes & The Temptations]

Why (Why) must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why

(Why) When it takes so long to make it (So long to make it)

And no time at all to break it off

Ooh, one day up then the next day down

(One day up then the next day down)

Love will keep you going like a merry-go-round

(Love will keep you hurting, hurting)

You both tried night and day from the start

(Love will keep you hurting, hurting)

To keep your love from falling apart

(Love will keep you hurting, hurting)

Then all at once your luck runs out

And love walks out the door

You search in vain for something else

You'll never find that thing you had before

(Didn't mean to hurt you, how I'm gonna miss you)

Why, why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why

(Why) When it takes so long to make it (So long to make it)

And no time at all

Oh, why, why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh, tell me why

(Why) Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?

(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh, tell me why[Outro: Diana Ross &

Why

Come on and tell me why

Come on and tell me why

Oh, why

(Oh, why)

Come on and tell me why

Come on and tell me why
