I see you walk and greet her

You stoop and kiss her lips

My blood run thick with jealousy

And my eyes brim with tears

What's so special about her?

Oh, why do you need her?

I can give you all she gives and more.

Please tell me why?

(please please)

Why not me?

CHORUS If I was given one chance

I would ask you to stand beside me

But there's a barrier there

That shouldn't be there

Oh...why is it there

Breaking my heart in two?

I see you every day

But you don't see me

She's the only one in your eyes

But you're very real to me

I don't exist, only she does

You're in your own world

And that world's far from mine

Please tell me why?

(please please)

Why not me?

CHORUS

Every time I see you

I stop in my tracks

And start daydreaming

That instead of her

That it's me standing there

Holding you in my arms

Then reality strikes home

When you bend to kiss her

Please tell me why?

(please please)

Why not me?

Every morning I wake up depressed

'Coz you're not there lying beside me

There's an empty space

So cold and lonely

All I need is one chance

One chance I know will never come.
