Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta find me a way
Get me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you
Won't you show me a place
Where I could hide my lonely face
I know you're gonna break my heart if I let you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to the flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
Got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so ...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
