Mark Chesnutt - I Dont Know Why I Do It Lyrics

(Tony Martin / Mark Nesler)

Have you ever looked down in the bottom of a coffee cup
and discovered that you got reason staying up
right at the moment when
the caffine's kickin' in

So you break down and give an old girlfriend al call
then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk
you remember what you dumped her for
and wish you hadn't opened that door

(Chorus)
I do it and I don't know why
hate to admit it but I think that I
got something rollin' round loose inside
that never was screwed down tight
no I don't know why I do it
but I do it all the time

Have you ever worked hard to line your pockets with dough
then let a little girl and love start burning a hole
knowing that she'll break your heart
and max out your credit cards

(Chorus)

Have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she's the one
and you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done
you can tell she loves you so much
that you have to go and screw it up

(chorus)

I do it I do it I do it
I do it and I don't know why
I got a habit of wreckin' my life
keep leaning left when I want to go right
you know it isn't like I haven't tried
I don't know why I do it
but I do it all the time
