A follow up effort to Start the Car, and A View from 3rd Street, I Don't Know Why I Act This Way brings the listener to something new with Jude Cole. This album is about a wide variety of human emotions and conditions. It is one of Jude's most "intense" lyrical efforts. It is complete with complex arrangements and production and the many unexpected instrumental twists that have become his trademark.

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.
