Don't know why I love you,
Don't know why I love you.
Sammy's shadow never leaves me,
These other women can't seem to appease me.
Sammy was a girl that I fell in love with,
Typical club chick, that had more flavor than a Sunkist.
Met her in September, wifed her by November,
Dated one semester, left her then forget her.
Calculated moves, socialite agenda,
Didn't care for you, I was her favorite letter.
Hair done, with the makeup nice,
Wifed up but she was more like the breakup type.
Always hit the club, didn't worry 'bout a backlash,
Life full of problems, I ain't talkin' math class.
Fightin' every night, never needed that trash,
Left just to come back, whole lot of packed bags.
Sorority chick, didn't like it but did it in spite
Of just to feel important and shit.
Always worried 'bout how she looked,
Got good grades for the status but didn't give a fuck about the books.
They say emotions run deep, she never let them show,
Drown ‘em out, she drinkin' on a steady flow,
‘Cause the cover up couldn't cover up enough,
Good skin, the cover up was just a bluff,
Sexy in a dress nonetheless, she still shy,
Confidence was low – had to wear her heels high.
Sammy never was an easy fix, always quittin',
Chick would up and leave me quick,
Always bitchin', always on some needy shit.
Selfish, never came to see me pitch,
Uh, and I hated her for that,
I needed her to be there,
And I hated her for that.
I broke up with Sammy, couldn't wait to leave,
Told her what I thought, emotions on the sleeve.
Fast-forward a year, life's a lot different,
Top of the world but something still missin', yeah!
Y'all know the half of that,
Whatever we had, can we have it back?
I'm just a lonely man, like my sanity,
Wishing I could find a match, my mind ain't what it used to be…
Don't know why I love you.
