Rivers Cuomo
Why Won’t You Love Me (Live)
[Intro: Luke]
Why? Why? Why? Why?
This song's called "Why Won't You Love Me"
Sing it as loud as you can, London, here we go
Why? Why? Why? Why?

[Verse 1: Luke]
Switching into airplane mode again
We're not alright but I'll pretend
Press my cheek against the glass
Just be good till I get back

[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Crowd]
The ground disappears
I hold back the tears
I check my phone to see your face
Staring back as if to say
Don't worry, you won't be lonely
Every single one of you, sing this, here we go!
Sing!

[Chorus: All, Crowd, Luke]
Why won't you love me? Louder, louder, go!
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?
[Verse 2: Calum, Michael]
Two drinks deep at a table for one
And the place we like to go and you take yourself home again
Three missed calls at 2 A.M
You say you never heard, you're late to get to work, and what?

[Pre-Chorus: Calum, Calum & Michael, Luke]
The time disappears
You hold back the tears
Best girlfriend just got engaged
You say you can't wait, need to make a change
You told me it's so hard to be lonely
You sing! Sing!

[Chorus: All, Crowd, Luke]
Why won't you love me? Louder, louder, go!
Why won't you love me?
We're together all alone tonight
So helpless from the other side
So why won't you love me?

[Bridge: All, Luke]
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why
I hold on to you and you hold on to me?
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why
I hold on to you and you hold on?
Why won't you love me?
London, as loud as you can, go!
[Chorus: Crowd, Luke, All]
Why won't you love me?
I can't hear you out there, c'mon! Go!
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?

[Outro: Michael, Calum, Luke]
London! How's everybody feeling tonight?
As I'm sure you know by now, we are 5 Seconds of Summer
And thank you so, so very much for having us again
You know, London kind of feels like a home for us
When we come here
So much of this band's career was based out of this city and coming back and playing for, I would say, some of the rowdiest people in the fucking world
And so, thank you again for having us
And you have been fucking incredible, so thank you
Give it up for this incredible, incredible band on stage right now
And then give it up for me 'cause I suck
Sweet
You look good, your red guitar is kind of, like, matching into this whole, like, blue and red theme
And what does that blue and red theme represent?
What?
What's the blue and red theme for? You guys are in red and blue, what's going on?
I don't know, what is it?
What?
I'm just kidding, we're trying to dress like your flag, sort of
I mean, to be fair, we do have very similar flags, in Aus—, the Australian
Yeah
It's very similar, you guys sent us over there
You know, it's whatever
But it's almost Halloween so, tomorrow, I'm throwing that shit out the door and I'm gonna dress as something Halloween-y, Halloween-y
Michael wants to dress as me for Halloween
I wanna dress as Luke and I think I'd kill it, right?
You would, just add like, just get some, some boots with some heels and some toes
Cool
Just dress like, dress like an eccentric cowboy and you'll be alright
There you go
So, give it up for lovelytheband, who opened up for us tonight
Give it up for Calum Hood's jacket again
Give it up for Ashton, Ashton Irwin's clash, crash cymbal
Give it up for his ride symbol as well
Give it up for his rack tom
Give it up for... Nah, nothing to do with me
Don't do it, fam, haha
So we have four more songs left to play tonight
And, just trying to fix my mic stand
And what that means is that, once we, once we are gone
London won't see us again until tomorrow
And, in that case, it means that you need to be the absolute best fucking crowd we've ever seen in our entire lives
You're very close, you're very, very close, London
And you've got a couple more songs to give us every single bit of energy that you have left, can you do that?
You guys ready to hear another song?
