I Don’t Know Why I Love You
[DERRICK, spoken]
Li-Li, I can't get enough of you, baby.

[LISA, sung]
I don't know why you love me
But you love me
So love me already
I'm ready to love you tonight

I can't explain why you need me
But, you need me
So need me already
I'm ready to feel you tonight[LISA]
At this moment
You appeal to me
It's a big deal to me
That on this very day
When life is so discombobulated
You appeared
And knocked me on my rear
And you, sir, look so strong and understated
 
I
I don't know why
You love me
But you love me
So love me already
I'm ready to love you tonight
 
 
Love me already
I'm ready to love you tonight
 
 
(spoken)
Sing it, D. Woo! That's the D I know.
(sung)
There is no band
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I-
Don't know why
You love me
But you love me
So love me already
I'm ready to kiss you-
 
(spoken)
Just one!
 
Love me already
I already miss you-
 
 
(spoken)

Love me already
I'm ready to love you

(spoken)
I'm ready for a little lovin' tonight, baby
 
(sung)
Oh, yeah
Oh...
(scatting)
 
 
Oooh... stop the band
 
I understand, but I'm being poetic
Close at hand
Some people call me bland
Or worse, some think I'm a natural anesthetic
 
I-
 
I don't know why but I- don't
Know why, I don't know why
So love me
(spoken)
Oh, can I just have one kiss on the cheek, Li-Li?
 
Heh!
 
 
(spoken)
Nah, I think I oughta kiss you a little bit more.
 
It's true.
 
Love me already
I'm ready to love you
Tonight
Tonight
 
-Love
