She's in love with him but he's always out. He call's her name and she shows up.. And she don't know why. It's an addiction for her and she could be Billy Holiday.. Or Macie Gray
Song Description
I wrote this a while ago but it would be a great song for one of the latest young female Jazz singers to call her own. A little arrangement and real horns and we've got a hit.

Lyrics
Baby
Phil & Judy Crescenzo (c) 2006
Baby
I know why you're here tonite
Baby
Trying again to get it right
Baby
Don't know why you try so hard
You're wastin' time on me
Baby
Call me Miss-understood
In and out of my life like a warm wind
Breakin my heart every time you leave
Back out the drive way
Baby
Why do I do what I do
You call my name
I come runnin like a fool
Why do I do what I do
Suddenly
I feel the need for a change
Don't wanna sit through no more rainy days
Can't help the way that I feel
Love brings blue skies to me baby
Don't know why you hang around
When I need you you can't be found
They know your name all over town
I've lived and died for ya..
Baby
Why do I do what I do
You call my name
I come runnin' Like a fool
Why do I do what I do?
Baby
It's time you learned how to treat me
I love you But I'll let you leave me
If you don't turn your love around
And don't decieve me
Baby
Why do I do what I do
You call my name
I come runnin like a fool
Why do I do what I do?
Baby..
[ride out]
Baby.. Like a fool
I come runnin
Back to you
ooh.. I don't know why
You just throw my love away
You don't know what you're doin..
