Instead of making conversation
Darling hold me tight
I wanna be thrilled by your caress
Beneath the pale moonlight
I need your love so madly
I long for your affection
If I could only get your eyes to look in my direction

So why can't there be love
Why oh why can't there be love
I wanna know why can't there be love
Why oh why can't there be love

Ooh why can't you see it in my eyes
My love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my [bad word] [bad word] 
So why can't there be love
I wanna know why can't there be love
I wanna know why can't there be love

Why oh why can't there be love

Ooh baby baby
Why do you [bad word] around
Treat me like a brand new toy that you have found
I wish I was a needle
The way I love you so
Sow myself into your heart and never let you go

Yeah why can't you see it in my eyes
My love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my [bad word] [bad word] 
So why can't there be love
I wanna know why can't there be love
You know the birds do it and the bees do it!
I wanna know why can't there be love
You know the birds do it and the bees do it!
I wanna know why can't there be love
