Why, why

(Oh-ooh) why

There you are, in a darkened room

And you're all alone, looking out the window

Your heart is cold and lost the will to love

Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows (in the shadows)

Come to me, come to me

Can't you see that

Nobody wants to cry

My body's longing to hold you

So why (why), why don't you let me love you?

Why (ooh, yeah), why (oh why)

Why (ooh, yeah)

Can you hear my voice? Do you hear my song?

It's a serenade, so your heart can find me, oh

And suddenly you're flying down the stairs

Into my arms, baby, oh

Before I start going crazy (going crazy, ohh)

Run to me (run to me)

Because I'm dying

Nobody wants to be lonely (wants to be lonely)

Nobody wants to cry (I don't wanna cry)

So why, why, why don't you let me love you?

I wanna feel you need me (feel you need me)

Just like the air you're breathing (breathing)

I need you here in my life

No, no, no, no

Nobody wants to cry, yeah, yeah

Nobody wants to be lonely (yeah, oh-oh)

My body's longing to hold you (is longing to hold you)

So bad it hurts inside (hurts inside)

So why (why), why don't you let me love you? (Let me love you)

So bad it hurts inside (so hurt inside)
