Why was I born? Why am I living?
What do I get? What am I giving?
Why do I want for things I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
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?
Why do I try to draw you near me?
And why do I cry? You never hear me
I'm just a poor fool but what can I do?
Oh baby, why was I born to love you?
Tell me, why was I born to love you?
