Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?

Got to find me a way

To take me back to yesterday.

How can I ever hope to forget you?

Won't you show me a place

Where I can hide my lonely face?

I know you're going to break my heart if I let you.

Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to a flame,

Like a song without a name,

I've never been the same since I met you.

Like a bird on the wing,

I've got a brand new song to sing,

I can't keep from singing about you.

I'm beginning to see

What a fool you've made of me.

I might have to break the law when I find you.

Stop running away;

I've got a better game to play,

You know I can't go on living without you.
