I was a lonely one
Never a happy one
But when I heard you sing
Your voice was always true
I want to follow you
I want to follow you
Like a bird, I could only
See you in spring
But I would always savor
The joy you'd bring
I want to follow you
I want to follow you
Babe, why can't I say
That I only want you
Here with me today?
Babe, it just isn't fair
Whenever I need you
But you're not there
I know there'll never be
Another time
But I'll go wherever
I hear your cry
I'd go wherever
I'd go wherever
But just like a game
You think you've won
Like a passing dream
You'll soon be gone
Forever, no, not forever
Babe, why can't I say
That I only want you
Here with me today?
Babe, it just isn't fair
Whenever I need you
But you're not there
