Lyrics

Why? Why? Why?
Oh-ooh, yeah
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 me, 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-oh-oh, oh-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
Wwants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
I don't wanna 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-oh-oh, oh-oh
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why?
Why?
Why don't you let me love you?
I wanna 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 alway, walk away
Oh no, no
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry, yeah, yeah
Nobody wants to be lonely
Yeah, oh-oh-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-oh-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
