Lyrics

Why Does

[Verse 1: Q]

All the love you've given me

So special seems to be no limit

I'll do anything

There's no boundaries to how we can grow

How can I let you know

Girl, let me sit and think, oh

[Chorus: 112 & (Q)]

Why does the wind blow?

Why does the sun shine?

(Why does the wind blow?)

Why does the rain fall, down on my face?

(I need to know)

Why does the Earth spin?

(I need to know)

Why do the waters reach the shore?

(Oh baby)

And tell me, tell me why

Why do I love you like I do?

[Verse 2: Michael Keith]

Oh, in the past

You were there when I was down

My friends could not be found

Your touch kept me so strong

But our love didn't fade away

Instead, it sails inside the sky

That's why I must ask why

I must ask why

[Chorus: 112 & (Mike)]

Why does the wind blow?

(Why does it blow?)

Why does the sun shine?

(I need to know)

Why does the rain fall, down on my face?

Why does the Earth spin?

Why do the waters reach the shore?

And tell me, tell me why

Why do I love you like I do?

[Bridge: Slim & (112)]

I ask myself the question time and time again

(Baby, I love you)

Baby, I love you

(Yes, I do)

Oh, why did you have to hurt me

And leave me all alone?

(Baby, I love you)

Oh, baby, I love you

Now I'm all alone when I need your love

[Chorus: 112 & (ad-libs)]

Why does the wind blow?

(Tell me, baby)

Why does the sun shine?

(Why does the rain fall?)

Why does the rain fall, down on my face?

(Tell me)

Why does the Earth spin?

Why do the waters reach the shore?

And tell me, tell me why

Why do I love you like I do?

(Tell me why)

Why does the wind blow?

(Why does it blow?)

Why does the sun shine?

(Tell me why)

Why does the rain fall, down on my face?

(Tell me, baby)

Why does the Earth spin?

(Tell me why)

Why do the waters reach the shore?

And tell me, tell me why

Why do I love you like I do?
