Why Babyface

Why……………………………………………?
Why……………………………………………?
Why……………………………………………?
Why……………………………………………?
When they're always breaking up
Oh why, why………………………tell me why.


It's not like I can explain what's in my heart
It's just I feel a crazy pain when we're apart
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna love
I don't wanna do anything
It's not like I can describe what's going on
It's just I feel I'm not alive
When you're not home
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna be
I just want you here beside me
Without you there's no me


hook
Oh why, why…………………………………?
Why………………………………………….?
Why………………………………………….?
Why………………………………………….?
Why………………………………………….?
When they're always breaking up
Oh why, why……………………….tell me why?


It's not like I can escape what's in my soul
'cause without you inside my heart
Where can I go
I don't wanna see no you without me
I can't go through life without you
Without you there's no me


Hook
Why……………………………………………?
If rivers flow why…………………………, babe
Why………….…………………………………?
To be in love, to feel your love
Why…………………………………………….?
