Hold up wait a minute
Can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and
You'll tell me everything
That you feel
I just wanna know the truth
Even if it hurts me boo
Tell me now if you can
I just wanna understand

Chorus:

Tell me why
(why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
I keep trying
(Try, Try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
Heart is crying I need to be loved

Verse 2:
Hold up wait a minute
Can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and
You'll tell me everything
Keep it real
Is it the way I wear my hair
Just tell me the truth boy
I don't care
Look at me as I am
I just don't understand

Tell me why
(why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
I keep trying
(Try, Try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
Heart is crying I need to be loved

[Bridge]

What's wrong with me?
How come you don't wanna be in love with me?
What can I do to be perfect for you?
Tell me I'll do anything
I'll be anything

[Harvey Mason]

I still love you
I'm sorry
And I'm gonna make it up to you baby
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved

Tonight I'm gonna show you
Just how much I love you
I'm gonna love you, love you,
Love you like you need to be loved
