You ride past me with blinding speed
I'd like to get to know you if you please but
Every time I try, every time I try
It don't work out and I don't know the reason why...

Why... why... ?
Every time we try to get together it's like stormy weather
Why... why... why... ?

Why is it that when you look at me
I see something in you that you don't see in me
For every waking hour, my admiration towers over you
But hell what can I do?...

I really think I love you, I think I do and it makes me blue 'cause you
Won't even look my way give me the time of day to explain to you
That I will never tease you, never leave you, always please you until the moon
Falls into the sea leaving just you and me to discuss it over tea

I listen intently to the words that you speak
I fantasize that you are speaking only to me
Just like the brightest flower midst of the darkest hour
Can't you see that you're the only one for me... ?

Why... why... ?
Every time we try to get together it's like stormy weather
Why... why... why... ?
