  • Why, why, 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 come,
    Come to me

    Can't you see that

    Nobody wants to be lonely
    Nobody wants to cry
    My body's longing
    To hold you
    So bad it hurts inside
    Time is precious and
    It's slipping away
    And I've been waiting
    For you all of my life
    (Oh)
    Nobody wants to be lonely
    So why (why),
    Why don't you
    Let me love you

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

    Ooh ooh, yeah
    Can you hear my voice,
    Do you hear my song
    It's a seranade,
    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, oh

    Run to me

    Run to me

    'Cause I'm dying

    Nobody wants to be lonely
    Nobody wants to cry
    (I don't want to cry)
    My body's longing
    To hold you
    (I'm longing to hold you)
    So bad it hurts inside
    Time is precious and
    It's slipping away
    And I've been waiting
    For you all of my life
    (Oh)
    Nobody wants to be lonely
    So why

    Why, why don't you
    Let me love you

    I want to feel you need me

    Feel you need me

    Just like the air
    You're breathing

    Breathing, I need you
    Here in my life

    Don't walk away,
    Don't walk away
    Don't walk alay,
    Don't walk away
    No, no, no, no

    Nobody wants to be lonely
    Nobody wants to cry
    Yeah yeah

    Nobody wants to be lonely
    (Yeah oh ooh)
    Nobody wants to cry
    (Nobody wants to cry)
    My body's longing
    To hold you
    (Is longing to hold you)
    So bad it hurts inside
    (Hurts inside)
    Time is precious and
    It's slipping away
    And I've been waiting
    For you all of my life
    (Oh)
    Nobody wants to be lonely
    So why (why), why don't you
    Let me love you
    Let me love you

    Nobody wants to be lonely
    Nobody wants to cry
    (Nobody wants to cry)
    My body's longing
    To hold you
    (I'm longing to hold you)
    So bad it hurts inside
    (So hurt inside)
    Time is precious and
    It's slipping away
    And I've been waiting
    For you all of my life
    Nobody wants to be lonely
    So why (why),
    Why don't you
    Let me love you

    Why (why),
    Let me love you
    Why don't you
    Let me love you
    Why, love you,
    Let me love you
