Yeah, oh, why, why?
You didn't have to leave me, babySee I called you today, no one picked up the phone
As fast as I could, girl, I ran to your home
When I arrived to my surprise you were gone, oh, babeYour neighbor informed me that you moved away
How could you not tell me and leave me this day?
With no goodbyes and crying eyes, I wish you would have stayedSo I count every second, I count every minute
That you are away from me, I just can't take it
Oh, why can't I get with you?So I count every second, I count every minute
That you are away from me, I just can't take it
Oh, why can't I get with you?Things won't be the same, there's no me without you
For the rest of my life, I'll be searching for you
Oh my first love, don't know how much I'll miss you, yeahThere are lessons in love and I've learned my first one
My mom says, get ready, I've got more to come
But I can't take no more heartache, I want youSo I count every second, I count every minute
That you are away from me, I just can't take it
Oh, why can't I get with you?So I count every second, I count every minute
That you are away from me, I just can't take it
Oh, why can't I get with you?So we made a promise, a promise
Yes, we did, oh, it's all good, baby, it's alright, baby
Oh, in your pretty eyes, it was so innocent, baby, yes, it was
The first time, oh, my very first time that we kissed
Oh, baby, like this, yeahSo I count every second, I count every minute
That you are away from me, I just can't take it
Oh, why can't I get with you?So I count every second, I count every minute
