why, why
Where you are in a darkened room
An d 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
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
Nobody wants to be lonely today
Oh, why, why don't
you let me love you?
Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why?
Can you hear my voice?
Do you hear my song?
It's a serenade
So your heart can find me home
And suddenly you're fly
ing down the stairs
Into my arms, baby
Before I start going crazy
Run to me
Because I'm dying
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing, longing
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you
all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely, say
Why, why don't you let me love you?
I wanna feel you near me
Just like the air you breathe
I need you here in my life
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Nobody's longing to hold
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you
all of my life
Nobody wants to be
lonely tonight
Why don't you let me love you?
Nobody wants to know,
nobody wants to cry
