Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad? by Derek and the Dominos

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you?

Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to 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 a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you

Like a bird on the wing
I've 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?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
Might have to break the law when I find you

Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you, no

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?
Why does love got to be so sad?
