Why was I born, why am I livin'?
|
What do I get, what am I givin'?
|
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
|
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
|
|
Why do I try to draw you near me?
|
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
|
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
|
Why was I born to love you?
|
|
<instrumental-first two lines of second verse>
|
|
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
|
Why was I born to love you?
|
|
|
Some other versions may include an intro:
|
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
|
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
|
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
|
Only to wake up all by myself What is the good of me by myself?
|
