Why can't these lonely eyes see you more?
Why can't they gaze longingly at yours?

Baby, why aren't your hands touching me at night?
Why aren't they gripping and holding me tight?

Why does my heart beat so fast when you're near?
Why, everywhere I go, do I wish you were here?

What did you do to do this to me?
How'd you get so close to sweep me off my feet?

How do I stop myself from getting too far gone?
How do I not dream of you from dusk until dawn?

How can I not want you every single day?
How is it, this man I barely know, can take my breath away?

Is it just because for so long I've gone without?
Or are you really a man worth writing about?

Am I good for you or are you bad for me?
Are we gonna keep this up until we can see?

What can I do to stop thinking of you?
Is that at all possible or do I even want to?

How do you make me smile when I only want to cry?
Are you playing with me or do you really want to try?

Why are these my only thoughts when you're away?
What is it about you that's got me acting this way?
