about

The story is pretty self-explanatory. I really don't remember what inspired the idea to write this or if it was about someone in particular. Only thing I vaguely remember is listening to a lot of Donovan back in the day and I was emulating a bit of that in this song.

This is song #370.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

WHY DO YOU LEAD ME ON? WHY DO YOU CARE?
EVERY TIME I WANT YOU GIRL, YOU NEVER SEEM TO WANNA BE THERE.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF I SHOULD GO?
WHY DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME? YOU KNOW IT DRIVES ME INSANE!

HOW CAN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WHEN YOU DON'T?
I SAY I WANT TO LOVE YOU, BUT YOU KEEP SAYING TO ME THAT YOU WON'T.
WHO AM I TO YOU? JUST AN OLE FOOL.
SHOULD I GET UP AND LEAVE TODAY AND RUN AWAY?

I'M SIMPLY SAYING THAT I MUST KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
TELL ME WHAT WE HAVE AND TELL ME IF IT'S REAL.
I GAVE YOU SO MUCH AND I'LL STILL GIVE TO YOU--
TO SHOW YOU THAT MY LOVE IS TRUE FOR YOU.
(SOLO)
I'M SIMPLY SAYING THAT I MUST KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
TELL ME WHAT WE HAVE AND TELL ME IF IT'S REAL.
I GAVE YOU SO MUCH AND I'LL STILL GIVE TO YOU--
TO SHOW YOU THAT MY LOVE IS TRUE FOR YOU.

WHY DO YOU LEAD ME ON? WHY DO YOU CARE?
EVERY TIME I WANT YOU GIRL, YOU NEVER SEEM TO BE THERE.
WHAT AM I TO YOU? LOVE IS SO CRUEL.
WHY DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME WHEN YOU KNOW THAT IT DRIVES ME INSANE?
I'M SIMPLY SAYIN',
I'M SIMPLY SAYIN',
I'M SIMPLY SAYIN' I LOVE YOU.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
