"Why Don't You Love Me"

Well, why don't you love me
like you used to do?
How come you treat me
like a wornout shoe?
My hair's still curly
and my eyes are still blue
why don't you love me
like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin'
like a huggin' and a kissin'
in a long, long while
we don't get nearer
further closer than a
country mile
why don't you spark me
like you used to do
and say sweet nothings
like you used to coo
I'm the same ole trouble
that you've always been through
so why don't you love me
like you used to do
well, why don't you be
just like you used to be
how come you find so many
faults with me
somebody's changed
so let me give you
a clue
why don't you love me
like you used to do
ain't had no lovin'
like a huggin' and a kissin'
in a long, long while
we don't get nearer
further closer than a
country mile
why don't you say
the things you used
to say
what makes 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?
