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 lode 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?
