Words and music by rick nielsen

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever

Oh why can't i

Be in love for ever

And ever and ever

I wonder

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever



First thing you know

Is what you're looking for

Next thing you know is where you find it

You can't explain the pain

Of feelin' so alone

So i won't even try to tell you, no



Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever

Oh why can't i

Be in love for ever

And ever and ever

I wonder

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever



Some days it hurts so bad

Can't take it anymore

Those days and nights

They last forever

Some ways of feelin' good don't feel good anymore

They only mask your real feelings

Why, oh why, why, oh why



Halfway up, halfway down

Won't you turn my luck around

Halfway here, halfway there

Say the words and i'll be there



Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever

Oh why can't i

Be in love for ever

And ever and ever

I wonder

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i

Be in love forever



Be in love forever

Be in love forever

Be in love forever
