Why Can’t There Be Love

[Verse 1]
Instead of making conversation, darling, hold me tight
I wanna be thrilled by your caress beneath the pale moonlight
I need your love so madly, I long for your affection
If I could only get your eyes to look in my direction

[Chorus]
So why (Why) can't there be love? (Can't there be love?)
Why, oh why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)
I wanna know (Yeah), why can't there be love?
Why, oh why can't there be love? (Why, oh why, baby?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, why can't you see it in my eyes? My love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my dreams come true

[Chorus]
So why (Why) can't there be love? (Can't there be love?)
I wanna know, why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)
I wanna know (Yeah), why can't there be love?
Why, oh why can't there be love? (Why, oh why, baby?)

[Verse 3]
Ooh, baby, baby, why do you keep comin' around?
Treat me like a brand new toy that you have found
I wish I was a needle the way I love you so
Sew myself into your heart and never let you go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, why can't you see it in my eyes? My love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my dream come true

[Chorus]
So why (Why) can't there be love? (Can't there be love?)
I wanna know, why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)

[Post-Chorus]
You know the birds do it (Why)
And the bees do it (Can't there be love?)
(Why) I wanna know
Why can't there by love? (Can't there be love?)
You know the birds do it (Why)
And the bees do it (Can't there be love?)
(Why) I wanna know
Why can't there by love? (Can't there be love?)
I wanna know (Why)
