I Do But I Dont - Lyrics by Kenny Chesney


Lyrics
You always come back when I'm at my weakest

When I'm fool enough to let you in

Sayin' how this time around is different

Asking if I want to try again

I do, but I don't
I want to, but I won't
I am but I ain't
I could but I just can't

It feels right but it's wrong

And I've hurt way too long

So when you ask me if I know what I want
I do but I don't

What resistance I have left within me
I lose each time you're holding me this close

With every bitter sweet kiss, girl, you tempt me

Asking if I want to let you go

I do, but I don't
I want to, but I won't
I am but I ain't
I could but I just can't

It feels right but it's wrong

And I've hurt way too long

So when you ask me if I know what I want
I do but I don't

So don't ask me if I know what I want
'
Cause I do

But I don't
