Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Why do you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair's curly and my heart is still true
A why don't you love me like you used to do?

Ain't had no huggin' and a kissin'
Squeezin' and I don't know why
I can't get near her, ho-oh
Closer than a country mile

I said why don't you spark me
Like you used to do
And say sweet nothin's
Like you used to do
The same old trouble
That you always been through
So why don't you love me
Like you used to do?

Ain't had no huggin' and a kissin'
Squeezin' and I don't know why
I can't get near her, ho-oh
Closer than a country mile

<short guitar instrumental>

Ain't had no huggin' and a kissin'
Squeezin' and I don't know why
I can't get near her, oh-ho
Closer than a country mile

I say why don't you please
Just like you used to be?
How come you find
So many faults with me?
Somebody changed
Let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me
