Lyrics
I try so hard to please you
I break my back
You never give me credit
And so I crack
Why oh why
Can't you love me?
Why oh why
Does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why
Am I crying?
Why oh why
Do these tears never dry?
A simple word of notice
Would mean so much
I'm just a helpless cripple
And you're my crutch
Why oh why
Can't you love me?
Why oh why
Does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why
Am I crying?
Why oh why
Do these tears never dry?
Since I was a child
I was running 'round wild
Always looking for someone
Somebody to love me
And hold me together
When I'm coming undone
You came 'round
You sat down
You said, "how do you do?"
I said "I wouldn't mind if I could be with you"
I need someone to hold me now
A simple word of notice
Would mean so much
I'm just a helpless cripple
And you're my crutch
Why oh why
Can't you love me?
Why oh why
Does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why
Am I crying?
Why oh why
Do these tears never dry?
