I can't see it in your eyes, I can't see it in your eyes I can't see it in your eyes, that you don't know what to do Your friends keep saying, carry on, do they know what's best for you? Do they care for you when you're sick? Do they hold you when you cry? When you feel that there's no one there for you, do they say for you to die? Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Tell me why, tell me why, baby Every day's a lonely winter's day, when the sun is high There are no leaves on my life's tree, they all fell off and died No, there is no heat to keep me warm, when my soul is cold Won't you come and bring the spring again, and let me smell the merry go Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Tell me, tell me why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? This is the way, baby, this is supposed to be, yeah, oh yeah Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? I did all, I did all, I thought I did all a man was supposed to do I gave you sunshine and birds that sing, and every day the first day of spring Still you don't care, your heart stays cold, and misery is my story told Can't cut your love, so my sorrow grows, what will I do when heaven knows? A lonely tear falls from my eyes, as I can't help but wonder Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Tell me, can you tell me, baby, oh why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Can you tell me why you won't let me love you? Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? That's all I wanna do, babe Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Please don't make me beg you
