Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I can't keep it in
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world
World's gotta see
See all the love, love that's in me
[Verse 2]
I said, why walk alone?
Why worry when it's warm over here?
You've got so much to say
Say what you mean
Mean what you're thinkin' and think anythin'
[Verse 3]
Oh, why, why must you waste you're life away?
You've got to live for today
Then let it go, oh
Lover, I wanna spend this time with you
There's nothin' I wouldn't do if you let me know, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
And I can't keep it in
I can't hide it, and I can't lock it away
I'm up for your love
Love heats my blood
Blood spins my head
And my head falls in love, oh
[Verse 5]
Oh, I can't keep it in
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world
World's gotta know
Know all the love, love that lies low
[Verse 6]
So why can't you say?
If you know then why can't you say?
You got too much deceit
Deceit kills the light
Light has to shine, I said, shine light, shine light
[Verse 7]
Love, that's the way to live your life
You allow too much to go by
And that won't do
No
[Verse 8]
Lover, I wanna have you here by my side
Now don't you run, don't you hide
While I'm with you
Oh, oh
[Verse 9]
And I can't keep it in
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world
World's gotta see
See all the love, love that's in me
[Verse 10]
I said, why walk alone?
Now, why worry when it's warm over here?
You've got so much to say
Say what you mean
Mean what you're thinkin', think anythin'
Why not?
Now, why, why, why not?
