[verse 1] Why do I fly so high Just to fall back down So low. Scrapin the bottom Why can’t I just do What I oughta? Made a million dollars Got nothin to show But a bad tattoo of you That follows me Everywhere I go. [chorus] Why do I swoop And then dip…. Why am I sucker For your face and lips. Why do I swoop And then dip. Lookin for the truth I’m just not me If I’m not with you Tell me what to do I’ll jump through all your hoops Why do I swoop And dip…. [verse 2] I’m really good at everything I do. But if you asked for the truth, I’d say its not really true. Cause one minute I’ll be flying high Up out in the stratosphere, suddenly remember you’re No longer here One minute feeling fine Next one trying to get you on the line One minute I’ve moved on Next one wonderin what went wrong [chorus] Why do I swoop And then dip…. Why am I sucker For your face and lips. Why do I swoop And then dip. Lookin for the truth I’m just not me If I’m not with you Tell me what to do I’ll jump through all your hoops Why do I swoop And dip…. [banjo and standing base solo] [verse 3] Friends will say it’d be nice If you could finally get a grip. Its not like you’re not equipped. In a day I’ll be feeling fine Just give an old boy some time One minute feeling fine Next one trying to get you on the line One minute I’ve moved on Next one wonderin what went wrong [call and response] Why do I swoop And then dip…. Why am I sucker For your face and lips. Why do I swoop And then dip. [conclusion] Made a million dollars Got nothin to show But a bad tattoo of you That follows me Everywhere I go. Why do I swoop And then dip.
