Why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love
I say, why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love me
Why won’t you love me
I gave you all of my better years
Not afraid to face my fears
I made the sacrifice
Don’t you know that I would give my life
If I had to
I never wanted anything from you
Just wanted to do what I do
Without a hundred lies
But DADT had me paralyze
Maybe now you realize
It’s a four letter word
It’s a word that is heard and debated
But it’s H.A.T.E.
I know a word
And it’s time that you learn how to say it
And it’s L.O.V.E.
Why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love
I say, why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love me
Why won’t you love me
(2x)
I give respect to your family
You’re living the American dream
You know, that wedding ring
Will not promise you he doesn’t cheat?
If he wants to
I had my twelve year anniversary
And I’m proud of our fidelity
You know our love is true
But DOMA says I’m less than you
When you gonna get a clue
It’s a four letter word
It’s a word that is heard and debated
But it’s H.A.T.E.
I know a word
And it’s time that you learn how to say it
And it’s L.O.V.E.
Why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love
I say, why can’t you love
Why, why can’t you love me
Why won’t you love me
