Why Would You Be Loved

[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 lovin'

Why would you be lovin'

Why would you be lovin', hey

And, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

[Verse 2]

Now the world falls apart it starts with their actin' up

I wouldn't say it, but I blame them

The bleedin' 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 lovin'

Why would you be lovin'

Why would you be lovin', hey

And, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

[Refrain]

Why would you play it all on somethin' as hollow as trust? (Hey)

What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)

What if under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough?

[Chorus]

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)

And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

[Verse 3]

They look for somethin' to be done for those that are most in pain

What about me and my achin'?

The scales rehung, the breakin' of yoke and chain

What about me and my breakin'?

And if you ain't for all, how could you try at all, baby?

So why, why, why

[Chorus]

Why would you be lovin'

Why would you be lovin'

Why would you be lovin', hey

And, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

[Refrain]

Why would you play it all on somethin' as hollow as trust? (Hey)

What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)

What if under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough?

[Chorus]

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)

And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin' (Hey)

Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)

And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
