[Verse 1]
Why was I born? Why am I livin'?
What do I get? What am I givin'?
Why do I want for things I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew!
[Verse 2]
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Oh, baby, why was I born to love you?
