Instead of making conversation, darling, hold me tight
I wanna be thrilled by your caress beneath the pale moonlight
I need your love so madly, I long for your affection
If I could only get your eyes to look in my direction
So why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)
Why oh why can't there be love? (Can't there be love?)
I wanna know (yeah) why can't there be love
Why oh why can't there be love? (Why oh why, baby?)
Ooh, why can't you see it in my eyes my love for you is real?
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my dreams come true
So why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)
I wanna know why can't there be love (oh)
I wanna know (yeah) why can't there be love
Why oh why can't there be love? (Why oh why, baby?)
Ooh, baby, baby, why do you keep coming around?
Treat me like a brand new toy that you have found
I wish I was a needle the way I love you so
Sow myself into your heart and never let you go
Yeah, why can't you see it in my eyes my love for you is real?
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my dream come true
So why can't there be love? (Why can't there be love?)
I wanna know why can't there be love
You know the birds do it and the bees do it (why can't there be love?)
I wanna know why can't there be love
You know the birds do it and the bees do it (why can't there be love?)
I wanna know why can't there be love
I wanna know
