in moments when you're so far away
 in the night when I reach out to hold you
 you just turn away, why do you turn away

 oh, I love you so when you're smilin'
 but your smile has faded overnight
 will we stay like this for a lifetime
 gettin' nothin' right, gettin' nothin' right

 why do we always have stormy weather
 why do we have it so rough
 is it so hard just to stay close together
 why can't we ever have love

 oh, I knew from the first time I saw you
 I just had to make you mine
 felt so sad when you told me
 about your troubled life, all about your troubled life

 so here we are just a few years further
 still tryin' to make it work
 I've a feelin' what we really need right now, girl
 is just a little love, oh baby, just a little love

 why should we always have stormy weather
 why should we have it so rough
 it's not so hard just to stay close together
 why can't we only have love
