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

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
