Gene Loves Jezebel – Why Can't I? lyrics

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Why can't I
See your smile
Just once in a while

Let me see you smile
Why can't I
See you smile
It makes it all worthwhile

So let me see you smile
Oh, why can't I
Fill your life
With my love, with joy, with laughter

Let me see you smile
I hate to see you cry
So don't you cry
I hate to see you cry

Baby don't cry
Please, don't cry
When worlds collide
You will survive

I swear I will be there
To meet you on the other side
'Cause Kings and Queens
Build castles in the air

We have those dreams to share
So let me see you smile
Don't you cry
No. not this time baby

I hate to see you cry
Don't you cry, oh no no no
Please don't cry
Let me cry

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Breaking down in the company of your friends
Staying on top, staying on top
No one gives a damn, if you die

Staying on top. staying on top
No one gives a damn, if you drown
Is that you crying, no no
Don't you cry

Please, please now dammit don't cry
No, no,no don't you cry
Listen what I want
She said

Give me what I want
This is what I want, this is what I want
Oh, the lines are bridged baby
Change the lock on the fence

Why can't I
See you smile
Just once in a while
Let me see you smile

Baby don't cry. baby don't cry, baby don't cry
Wake up baby
I want to give you the kiss of life
