I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection right from the start
I have a lover who loves me
How could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention.

Why do you come here?
When you know I've got troubles enough
Why do you call me?
When you know I can't answer the phone.

You make me lie when I don't want to
And you make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
And you make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong, or is all the weakness in me?

Why do you come here?
And pretend to be just passing by
But I need to see you
And I need to hold you tightly.

Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from tormented sleep
Oh, this old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep.

If I choose now
I'll lose out
Oh, one of you has to fall
And I need you
And you.

Why do you come here?
When you know I've got troubles enough
Why do you call me?
When you know I can't answer the phone.

You make me lie when I don't want to
And you make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
And you make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong, or is all the weakness in me?

Why do you come here?
And pretend to be just passing by
But I need to see you
And I need to hold you tightly.
