You ask me why, why I love her -- Woh-woh, dum-dee-dah-dee, Dum-dee-dah-dee, doh. I'll tell you why, why I love her, Woh-woh, dum-dee-dah-dee, Dum-dee-dah-dee, doh. She understands me the way you never did. She loves me, she loves me the way you never did. She takes the time to notice I'm around, She builds me up -- she never lets me down. You want to know if I'll come back to you -- Woh-woh, dum-dee-dah-dee, Dum-dee-dah-dee, doh. After knowing her, no other love will do. Woh-woh, dum-dee-dah-dee, Dum-dee-dah-dee, doh. She understands me the way you never did. She loves me, she loves me the way you never did. She takes the time to notice I'm around, She builds me up -- she never lets me down. That's why I love her... She understands me... (Fade)
