I can't tell you why
(The Eagles)
Look at us baby up all night tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark?
Every time I try to walk away something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why.
When we get crazy it just ain't right girl I get lonely too
You don't have to worry just hold on tight 'cause I love you.
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see we make it harder then it has to be
And I can't tell you why no baby
I can't tell you why.....

In the original studio recording, it just keeps repaeating the last few bars and
fades out. However, on the Eagle's live album and on "Hell Freezes Over," the
song ends with a little ditty like this at the end...
