Kurt sings lead, Elvis style (ala "Good Luck Charm") on this catchy neo-doo wop harmony fest that features a very cool little piano solo from Kris "Fingers" Rodgers, and lyrics like, "You’re getting calls from a whole lot of men, And one of them's older than Roger McGuinn."
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
You know you are the one I adore,
There’s only so much pain I can take,
You got me thinkin’ that I made a mistake,
You’re turnin’ colder than a midnight snake,
I gotta put on the emergency brake,
And now you’re makin’ me, sleep on the floor,
You’re stayin’ out till a quarter to four,
I’m really tempted to even the score,
You’re treatin’ me like a prisoner of war,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
You know you are the one I adore,
You’re out of hand, girl, losin’ your mind,
You used to be so thoughtful and kind,
Now you’re actin’ like I’m totally blind,
Every day is a horrible grind,
You’re actin’ shifty when I ask where you been,
You sneak in late and you’re reekin’ of gin,
You’re getting calls from a whole lot of men,
And one of them's older than Roger McGuinn,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
You know you are the one I adore,
I said,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
Why don’t you want my love anymore,
You know you are the one I adore.
