I Don't Know Why I Act This Way is the fourth solo album by American singer-songwriter Jude Cole, released by Island Records on September 25, 1995.

A follow-up effort to Start the Car and A View from 3rd Street, I Don't Know Why I Act This Way discusses a variety of human emotions and conditions. Described as Cole's most "intense" lyrical effort, it is complete with complex arrangements and production. The album cover depicts Cole in the right foreground, while the background is a direct recreation of Edward Hopper's works. Specifically, the left side bears a very strong resemblance to Nighthawks, while the right is a direct copy of 7 AM.
