Lyrics
[Verse]
The day we met it was all by chance
Just a twist of fate and circumstance
I hadn’t seen you since the fall of O 2
You were pretty as I remembered you
[Verse]
We’d kind of went out a couple times
Then you went your way and I went mine
You said you were recently divorced
Trying to get your life back on course
[Verse]
While we talked it was then that I knew
I was never able to get over you
You were always in the back of my mind
I wish I had somehow made you mine
[Chorus]
Why do I always want what I can’t have
Your memory is gonna drive me mad
Why do I go back to what might’ve been
I think about you again and again
Why do I see your face when I dream
I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme
Why do I think and feel the way I do
Like it or not I’m in love with you
That’s why…
I do what I do
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse]
I was wondering should I take a chance
Maybe take a shot at true romance
I knew in my heart it was always you
And that no one else would ever do
[Chorus]
Why do I always want what I can’t have
Your memory is gonna drive me mad
Why do I go back to what might’ve been
I think about you again and again
Why do I see your face when I dream
I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme
Why do I think and feel the way I do
Like it or not I’m in love with you
That’s why…
I do what I do
[Verse]
Then suddenly some man appeared
And everything was as I had feared
You introduced me, his name was Lyle
I shook his hand, tried to fake a smile
[Verse]
You’d started dating two months ago
Once again I had to let you go
You gave me a hug as we said goodbye
As you left I wished I was that guy
[Chorus]
Why do I always want what I can’t have
Your memory is gonna drive me mad
Why do I go back to what might’ve been
I think about you again and again
Why do I see your face when I dream
I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme
Why do I think and feel the way I do
Like it or not I’m in love with you
That’s why…
I do what I do
[Bridge]
I wanna be the one who walks beside you
The one to look in your eyes as you say I do
To be the one who loves you every night
And take you in my arms and hold you tight
[Chorus]
Why do I always want what I can’t have
Your memory is gonna drive me mad
Why do I go back to what might’ve been
I think about you again and again
Why do I see your face when I dream
I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme
Why do I think and feel the way I do
Like it or not I’m in love with you
That’s why…
I do what I do
[Final Chorus]
Why do I always want what I can’t have
Your memory is gonna drive me mad
Why do I go back to what might’ve been
I think about you again and again
Why do I see your face when I dream
I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme
Why do I think and feel the way I do
Like it or not I’m in love with you
That’s why…
I do what I do
