Text: Mark Chesnutt. Don't Know Why I Do It.

Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup
And discovered that you got no reason stayin' up?
Right at the moment when
The caffeine is kickin' in

So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call
Then after two hours of hearin' her mindless talk
You remember what you dumped her for
And you wish, you hadn't opened that door

I do it and I don't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' 'round loose inside
That never was screwed down tight
I don't know why I do it
But I do it all the time

Have you ever worked hard to line your pockets with dough
Then let a little girl and love start burnin' a hole
Knowin' that she'll break your heart
And max out your credit cards

I do it and I don't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' 'round loose inside
That never was screwed down tight
No, I don't know why I do it
But I do it all the time

Have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she's the one
And then get a funny feelin' that your ramblin' days are done?
Now you can tell she loves you so much
You have to go and screw it up

I do it and I don't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' 'round loose inside
That never was screwed down tight
No, I don't know why I do it
But I do it, I do it, I do it

I do it and I don't know why
I got a habit of wreckin' my life
Keep leanin' left when I want to go right
You know it isn't like I haven't tried
Ah, I don't know why I do it
But I do it all the time
(Why I do it, don't know why I do it)

I don't know why I do it
But I do it all the time
