Rosanne Cash I Don't Know Why You Don't written by Rodney Crowell
Rosanne Cash
It's the right time you know I feel fine tonight *
It's the right place I've got my new face tonight *
I'm in the right mind I've got my new shoes tonight *
I've got a new dress I couldn't care less tonight *
Somebody told me I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between(she better start
walkin)
Somebody hurt you but baby she wasn't me
We'll find a new name for such a old game tonight *
I'll show you how long that I can go on tonight *
I don't know why you don't want me
Just when I think that I can make it without you
You come round and say you want me now
You tell me don't leave and I want to believe you
Why can't you see just how much I need you
Somebody told me I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between(she better start
walkin)
Somebody hurt you but baby she wasn't me
It's the last chance for a romance tonight *
There'll be no next time if you won't be mine tonight *
I don't know why you don't love me
* = I don't why you don't love me
