[Verse 1]
Why was I born, tell me why I am living?
What do I give or what am I giving?
What do I want a thing I can not hope for?
What can I hope for, I wish I knew
[Verse 2]
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Honey, tell me, why do I cry
Cause you're never gonna hear me?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do, do?
Why was I born to love you?
[Verse 3]
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Oh, why do I cry
Cause you're never gonna hear me?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
