The Exponents – Why Does Love Do This To Me?

 

 

I walked out, you left me
You know I'm hurtin' for you
It seems now that it's over
But there is nothin' I can do

I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know

Jackie came, she went away
Deep in the valley I kissed her that day but
It seems I'm thinkin' of you
But I'm still thinkin' about myself

I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know

 

The Exponents are a New Zealand band.  Jordan Luck wrote the song in 1989 in a London squat in the time that it took to toast a piece of bread.  It has become an enduring classic.  Partly thanks to being used as a theme tune for rugby matches (including the Wellington Sevens).
