Don't Know Why I Do It Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup 

And discovered that you got no reason staying up 

Right at the moment when 

The caffine is kickin' in 

So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call 

Then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk 

You remember what you dumped her for 

And you 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 

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] 

No, I don't know why I do it 

But I do it all the time 

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 

You have to go and screw it up 

[Chorus] 

No, I don't know why I do it 

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 

(Why do it, Don't know why I do it) 

I don't know why I do it, 

But I do it all the time....
