lyrics

There must be a why
A cause or a reason
A tear cannot hide
The truth can’t be hidden

Oh call it a sign
Or call it a beacon

Why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you
Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you

There ain’t no excuses
No justification
Is it heartache I feel
Or just an affliction

Maybe I’m wrong
And it’s all just illusion

Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you
Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you

Ooh you say I’m faking
That my heart is untrue
Playing games is all that I do
But there’s no evading
My tears are your proof
I’m crying a river over you

There must be a why
A cause or a reason
A tear cannot hide
The truth can’t be hidden

Ooh call it a sign
Or call it a beacon

Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you
Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love you

Ooh why do I cry ay ay
Why do I cry ay ay
Ooh why do I cry ay ay
If I don’t love I don’t love
You
