[Verse 1]
It's only said to be kind
The time that you have with love
You're never told, but you're loaned it
It's a lie, the high that you have with love
It feels like gold when you hold it
And know it's sweet, to know it when it's gone, baby
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Yeah, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
[Verse 2]
Now the world falls apart
It starts with their acting up
I wouldn't say it, but I blame them
The bleeding hearts
The arts and that other stuff
All the same motivations will melt away
Like snowflakes on a tongue, baby
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Yeah, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you?
Why would you?
[Bridge]
Why would you play it all on something as hollow as trust?
What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough?
What if under the gaze of all
You come short when the going gets rough?
[Chorus]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Eh-hey, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
[Verse 3]
They look for something to be done
For those that are most in pain
What about me and my aching?
The scales rehung
The breaking of yoke and chain
What about me and my breaking?
If you ain't for all
How could you try at all, baby?
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Yeah, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you?
Why would you?
[Bridge]
Why would you play it all on something as hollow as trust?
What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough?
What if under the gaze of all
You come short when the going gets rough?
[Chorus]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Eh-hey, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
[Outro]
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Why would you be loving?
Hey, and hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
Mmm, hey, why would you be loved?
