Why Don't You Love Me

(Album: The Red Hot Chili Peppers - 1984)

Why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you spot me like you used to do?
When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Oh, why don't you be the way you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebody changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you say the things you used to say?
How come you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Ain't had no loving like a hugging and a kissing
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile

Why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you spot me like you used to do?
When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Oh, why don't you be the way you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebody changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you say the things you used to say?
How come you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Ain't had no loving like a hugging and a kissing
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile
