Why, why, why      There you are in a darkened room   And 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 so why, why   Why don't you let me love you      Why, why, why      Can you hear my voice, do you hear my song?   It's a serenade so your heart can find me, oh   And suddenly your flying down the stairs   Into my arms, baby      Before I start going crazy   Run to me, run to me   'Cause I'm dying      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 so why   Why don't you let me love you      I want to feel you deeply   Just like the air you're breathing   I need you here in my life   Don't walk away, don't walk away   Don't walk away, walk away   No, no, no, no      Nobody wants to be lonely   Nobody wants to cry      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 so why, why   Why don't you let me love you      Nobody wants to be lonely   Nobody wants to cry   My body's longing to hold you   So bad it hurts inside
