Why Won’t You Let Me Love You

Lyrics

Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? I can see it in your eyes That you don't know what to do Your friends keep saying carry on Do they know what's best for you? Do they care for you when you're sick? Do they hold you when you cry? When you feel that there's no one there for you Do they say for you, they'll die Tell me why Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Tell me why, oh why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to bе? Tell me why, tell mе why, lady Every day's a lonely winter's day When the sun is high There are no leaves on my life's tree They all fell off and died No, there is no heat to keep me warm When my soul is cold Won't you come and bring the spring again? And let me smell the marigolds Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Tell me, tell me why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? This is the way, babe, that it's supposed to be Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? I need to know, I need to know why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? I did all, I did all, I thought I did all a man was supposed to do I gave you sunshine and birds to sing And every day the first day of spring So you don't care if your heart stays cold And misery is my story told Can't come get love, no, my sorrow grows What will I do, only heaven knows A lonely tear falls from my eyes As I can't help but wonder why Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Tell me, can you tell me baby, oh why Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? All I wanna do, baby, all I wanna do, lady, is get next to you Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Oh no, oh no, can you tell me why you won't let me love you? Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Tell me why, why Why won't you let me love you? Why won't you let me hold you close to me? Why, mmm, that's all I wanna do, babe Why won't you let me love you? Don't you know that this is how it's supposed to be? Please don't make me beg you
