Sometimes I wish it could be just you and me
But there's too many problems
You and the chance I could make you so happy
But there's too many problems
I wish they let you go

Boy just let me know why
Can we be together why?
Does it have to be all why?
Can we last forever?
Tell me why can't they just leave us alone?

Sometimes I wonder if they know they're hurting us
I just don't think they can
If I could only let them know that we're in love
I just don't think they can
I can't let you go

Boy I need to know why
Can we be together why?
Does it have to be all why?
Can we laugh forever?
Tell me why can't they just leave us alone?

Why can we be together why?
Does it have to be all why?
Can we last forever?
Tell me why can't they just leave us alone?
