Why do I do it Why do I choose To spend my life singing the blues That's the way I like it, babe That's the way I do Who said it's right Who said it's wrong To spend your days chasing a song Well, that's the way I like it, babe That's the way I do That's the way I like it, babe That's the way I do If I said I love you You know that's just a lie You can get inside of my head But my heart is harder to find Worry and trouble The world's in despair Give me a song and it all disappears That's the way I like it, babe That's the way I do That's the way I like it, babe That's the way I do
