Lyrics Why Don't You Love Me - Bob Delevante, Emmylou Harris

Why Don't You Love Me

The house still stands on the same old street
The door’s still red there and the third stair still squeaks
That old clock still don’t work on the mantle in the den
So why don’t you love me like you did back then
Why don’t you love me like you did back then
Grandma washes every tuesday, irons the next
No meat on fridays now she always makes the bed
Loo loo’s always waiting there when grandpa gets home at four
So why don’t you love me like you did before
Why don’t you love me like you did before
I’m sorry, i’m sorry, it’s all i can say
You’re gonna wake up in the morning
With things you cannot change
Diamonds are forever, elvis will always be king
There’s the rock of gibraltar, the babe’s the sultan of swing
Sure as shooting billy will always be the kid
So why don’t you love me like i know you did
Why don’t you love me like i know you did
Why don’t you love me like i know you did
Why don’t you love me like i know you did
