Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why She tried her best to please him In every special way Promised he'd do the same Cherish the kiss that started And the feelings that they shared Like the wind beneath a dying sail Endlessly loving without fail And he said d**h do us part to this I, swear to be there beside you Can't live my life without you Why can't this be the same for me? Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why For every minute of my life I've been blind, baby I just can't get you off my mind No matter how I try Baby, won't you tell me, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why
