Ricky: Why, why, why

Christina: Oh ooh ohh 

Ricky: There you are, in a darkened room 
And you're all alone, looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love 
Like a broken arrow 
Here I stand in the shadows

Christina: In the shadows

Ricky: Come to me, come to me 

Both: Can't you see that 
Nobody wants to be lonely 
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside 
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life (ohh) 
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why), why don't you let me love you 
Why (ooh ohh yeah), why (oh why), why 

Christina: Ooh ooh, yeah 
Can you hear my voice, do you hear my song 
It's a seranade, so your heart can find me, ohh 
And suddenly you're flying down the stairs 
Into my arms, baby, ohh 

Ricky: Before I start going crazy 

Christina: Going crazy, ohh

Ricky: Run to me 

Christina: Run to me

Both: Cause I'm dying... 
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry (don't wanna cry) 
My body's longing to hold you (I'm longing to hold you) 
So bad it hurts inside 
Time is precious and it's slipping away 
And I've been waiting for you all of my life (ohh) 
Nobody wants to be lonely 
So why�

Christina: Why, why don't you let me love you 

Ricky: I wanna feel you near me

Christina: Feel you near me 

Ricky: Just like the air you (breathe)

Christina: Breathe (air) I need you here in my life

 Don't walk away, don't walk away
Don't walk away, don't walk away 
No, no, no, no... 
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry...yeah yeah
Nobody wants to be lonely (yeah ohh ooh) 
Nobody wants to cry (nobody wants to cry) 
My body's longing to hold you (is longing to hold you) 
So bad it hurts inside (hurts inside) 
Time is precious and it's slipping away 
And I've been waiting for you all of my life 
Nobody wants to be lonely 
So why (why), why don't you let me love you
Let me love you... 
Nobody wants to be lonely 
Nobody wants to cry (nobody wants to cry...) 
My body's longing to hold you (I'm longing to hold you) 
So bad it hurts inside (so hurt inside)
