You love your dog, you love your town
You love to knock the stop signs down
that makes you want to sing along
A nap on a Sunday afternoon,
a midnight stroll, fingernail moon
Philosophizing with old drunk bastards
You love to ride the bridge down
You love all these things,
why would you turn down love?
What in the world are you thinking of?
You want to rage, you want to live,
and of course you want to give.
You want to have fun, fun, fun, fun,
fun, until the day is done.
You want friends who don't oblige you,
a mommy who won't chide you.
but you don't want to fight
You want to tell the truth
You want your money, tax -free
why would you turn down love?
why would you turn down my love?
why would you turn down my love?
What in the world are you thinking of?
You wouldn't know what to want
Go on and live in a world without love
Where no one can ever make you cry
Go on, but first you tell me why
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know,
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
Don't turn, baby, don't turn
What in the world are you thinking of?
Don't turn don't down now
