lyrics

YOU LAID DOWN ALL THE RULES WITH SPECIAL CARE
I CONTINUED ALL ALONG
AND DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD GIVE THE WORLD TO HAVE YOU AT MY SIDE
AND DARLIN’ YOU COULD ALWAYS FEEL AT HOME
WHY MUST I BE LONELY, NO NO FRIEND TO TURN TO
WELL, WHY SHOULD I FEEL LONELY WHEN YOU’RE HERE
WHY SHOULD I FEEL LONELY, SUCH BAD PAIN YOU KNOW I’M GOIN’ THROUGH
WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
SOON NOW BABY I BEGAN TO SEE THOSE STRINGS YOU PULLED
SORROW FILLED MY EVERY PART
AND DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I KEEP WAITING FOR THAT LOVE TO CREEP ON IN
AND DARLIN’ YOU KEEP PLAYIN’ WITH MY HEART
WHY MUST I BE LONELY, NO NO FRIEND TO TURN TO
WELL, WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY, SUCH PAIN YOU KNOW I’M GOIN’ THROUGH
WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
BABE YOU ALWAYS WANT THOSE THINGS YOU CANNOT HAVE
OH CAN’T I DRAW THE LINE
AND DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD GIVE THE WORLD TO KEEP YOU AT MY SIDE
AND BABY I WOULD LOVE YOU ALL THE TIME
WHY MUST I BE LONELY, NO NO NO FRIEND TO TURN TO
WELL, WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY WHEN YOU’RE HERE
WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY, SUCH PAIN YOU KNOW I’M GOIN’ THROUGH
WHY SHOULD I FEEL LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
WHY SHOULD I FEEL LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
WHY SHOULD I FEEL LONELY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
