[Verse] I'm waiting for the morning light Then every night I wonder why I always try to play it cool I mean hello, but say goodbye And I can't help myself I'm wide awake all through the night Keep waiting for the morning light [Chorus] And here I'm all alone Sitting by the telephone And I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I keep laughing when I wanna cry And I wonder why [Verse] Every day seems like there's no tomorrow And every night I wonder why Do I always seem to say it too When things don't always turn out right And there you sit inside my picture frame
But it's not the same Ever since you said good bye [Chorus] And here I'm all alone Sitting by the telephone And I'm wide awake, still wide awake, all through the night Keep waiting for the morning light [Break] I always try to play it so cool And I don't know why... Gotta keep on smiling Gotta keep on laughing When I want to cry... I do believe it [Chorus] And here I'm all alone Sitting by the telephone And I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I keep laughing when I wanna cry Ooh, sing it... Sing it
