Buffalo 66 lyrics

You could really be the death of me
But somehow, I'm not moving on
If I could, I would actually leave
But I don't like it when you're gone
Tell me what you want from me
What you need me to do
You don't have to tell me, "Please"
I'll sit pretty for you
Why am I in, why am I in love?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
In love with the one who holds the gun?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
Why is it we love what's bad for us?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
Why do I pray? God knows I should run
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
But I go back to us (why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
But I go back to us (why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
Handcuff me, I'll throw away the keys
'Cause I don't mind, to you I'm bound
I promise I won't scream
Don't need to breathe at all as long as you're around
Tell me what you want from me
What you need me to do
You don't have to tell me, "Please"
I'm never leaving you
Why am I in, why am I in love?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
In love with the one who holds the gun?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
Why is it we love what's bad for us?
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
Why do I pray? God knows I should run
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
But I go back to us (why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
But I go back to us (why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
(Why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
But I go back to us (why am I in love? Why am I in love? Why am I?)
