Lyrics

I would give you anything you want I would take you anywhere
I would offer you so many things to show how much I care
But you don’t even notice me, even though I’ve been around
Hey I won’t give up quite that easily and you don’t think I’ll wear you down
But I will

Baby I could love you for a million years Ohh, don’t you know I can
If I could only hold you I could make you see I could make you understand

Tell me why can’t I get next to you, won’t you listen to me baby
Tell me why can’t I get next to you

People talk that’s just the way it is, they carry on but they don’t know
What it’s like to really need someone and how it hurts to let them go
Fair weather promises don’t mean a thing but I know my heart is true
If you could only just believe in me like I believe in you
And I do

Baby I could love you for a million years, ohh, don’t you know I can
If I could only hold you, give me half a chance
oh, I could make you understand

Tell me why can’t I get next to you ohh, I’m talking to you baby
Tell me why can’t I get next to you

In this world of many things and complications that living brings
But I know we can make it through, me and you,
ohh, won’t you tell me what to do

Tell me why can’t I get next to you won’t you listen to me baby
Tell me why can’t I get next to you

Baby I could love you for a million years Ohh, don’t you know I can
If I could only hold you, I could make you see
Oh, I could make you understand

Tell me why can’t I get next to you I’m talking to you baby
Tell me why can’t I get next to you
Tell me why can’t I get next to you won’t you listen to me baby
Tell me why can’t I get next to you
