Sometimes I feel alone
Lost inside my own time zone
You know it's not so nice to be alone
Especially when Iโm so far from home (So far from home)
When I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Lovers walking hand-in-hand
Day by day
Why not? (Can't you be for me?)
Why not? Ooh-ooh
Why not? (I'm lonely, canโt you see?)
Oh, why not?
I promise you I will bring you no pain
And I won't treat your love in vain
See, I need someone like you
No longer will my days be blue
As I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Others walking hand-in-hand
Day by day
Why not? Oh (Can't you be for me?)
Why not?
Oh, why not? (I'm lonely, can't you see?)
Oh, why not?
Oh, why not? (Can't you be for me?)
Why not?
Ooh, why not? (I'm lonely, can't you see?)
Oh, why not?
As I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Others walking hand-in-hand
Day by day
Why not? Ooh-ooh-ooh (Canโt you be for me?)
Why not?
Oh, why not? Canโt you see? (I'm lonely, canโt you see?)
I need you, boy (Oh, why not?)
I need somebody, baby (Why not?)
Ooh, yeah (Can't you be for me?)
Baby (Why not?)
I need somebody (Why not?)
