I see you (see me)
And it hits me hard, indeed
You're standin' (so close)
Oh but yet so far from me
I try to (speak up) oh, but, no words to say
I'm fearin' (you'll leave)
And you'll get away

So, baby, tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time

You make me (make me)
Feel like no one can
Like a man your body (so sweet)
Could be my best friend
Oh damn not that it's (it's the)
The only thing I need (or want)
But really (you can't)
Girl you can't blame me
So don't

So, baby, tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time

I know you want to be with me
Girl I want you bad
So desperately baby
I am trying hard to wait for you
Till I find out why
Don't you leave my eye sight

Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) when I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
