Why Shouldn't I Songtext
von Stephen Duffy

If in stocking feet you worry me
With peeling soft lies and too few binding bonds
Drop your defences, let me rest my case
Chow stick bridges falling around our embrace

Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?

The small rooms of poverty offer no escape
The menu is the same, too much of nothing on your plate
And when the lines of worry don't relax when you sleep
Every dream′s a housing scheme, a promise they won′t keep

Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?


I followed your career
From the classroom to the tears
Through every welfare magazine
The school report that might have been
The day that you stopped fighting
Was the day you stopped delighting
So paint the sneer back on your face
Turn off the TV and pack your case
Then we'll be gone

Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?

Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?

Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn't I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
Why shouldn′t I love you?
