Why can't you tell me
Tell me when you're holding me
Tell me that you need me
that you want me, desire me
that I'm always on your mind

Tell me when you whisper
all those sweet and tender words
that they are really true
'cause I know that I'm in love with you
and there's times when I feel lost
not knowing what the hell to do

Why can't you just tell me
Tell me you'll never leave me
You'll be the one who will hold my hand
so I can feel the blood in your veins
pulsing with a steady beat
ensuring me that we are alive
and this is our time to be
