I see you, see me
And it hits me hard indeed
You're standing so close
Oh, but yet so far from me
I try to speak up
Oh, but no words to say
I'm fearing, you'll leave
And you'll get awaySo baby tell me, tell me, tell me
Why I, why I don't try?
When I, when I know you're fine
But I have a hard timeTell me, tell me, tell me
Why I, why I don't try?
When I, when I know you're fine
But I have a hard timeYou make me, make me
Feel like no one can
Like a man your body so sweet
Could be my best friend
Oh damn, not that it's, it's
The only thing I need or want
But really you can't
Girl, you can't blame me
So don'tTell me, tell me, tell me
Why I, why I?
When I, when you're so fine
But I, tell me, tell meTell me, tell me, tell me
Why I, you need a little bit of love in your life
When I, when I come home tonight
But I, but I think twiceI know you want to be with me
Girl I want you bad
So desperately, baby
I am trying hard to wait for you
Till I find out why
Don't you leave my eyesightTell me, tell me, tell me
Why I, why I don't try?
When I, when I know you're fine
But I have a hard time
