Why, why, whyThere 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 shadowsIn the shadowsCome to come,
Come to meCan't you see thatNobody 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 youWhy (ooh oh yeah),
Why (oh why), whyOoh 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,
