lyrics

My man he goes by Joseph
Call him Joe if you don't know him
Find his hand with 2 bills folded, ordering a drink
And honest man, he's got no slogans
He smells good without cologne
And if you choose to go approach him, ask him what he thinks
About the other girls there, about the way he got here
About his last girlfriend, is he a working man, and what's the plan today
My man he knows these ropes, he'll always make his way back home
And so he thinks that I don't know, I simply smile and say

I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. No, I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why

Sometimes when I'm alone, I go online and I see who's home
Write letters to people that I don't know and never really will
I cruise photos of studio apartments
Choose a place, but never call them
For the first time money ain't the problem, I just got time to kill
I know why he's out there, and I know why he's not here
Why don't I care at all, I'm not sad, I applaud
I'm glad he doesn't call
My man he knows me so I up my game with welcome home
I smile the same, I play the role, and I always say

I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. No, I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why

Everlasting, unconditional is a passing thrill you all should know
I've been asking the 16 year old I used to be, she thinks that I should go
Do something unpredictable, out the safety zone, accident prone
But if you'd ask me 10 years from now, I'm positive that I'd still say

I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. No, I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why
I love you babe. I don't know why
No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why
But I love you babe
No, I don't know why. No I don't know why
But I love you babe
