Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

Inside, I hold these feelings back about you and I

I see you every day but all I can do is pass you by

'Cause you belong to my best friend and I could never give in

To these feelings I have inside for you

I guess I'll just have to pretend

That it doesn't bother me to know that he's making love to you, oh baby

I know what I feel is wrong, but that's just what I wanna do to you, oh, oh, oh

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me (Oh, I just die, yeah)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms (Oh, why)

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me (Oh, I just die)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

See, when you're near me, I'm so afraid that these feelings will show

The secret I've been keeping inside won't be a secret anymore

And if you could read the thoughts on my mind, here is what you would find Visions of your lips touching mine and our bodies intertwined

But it's just a fantasy and I know this could never be, oh baby

What I feel is so wrong, and I could never tell ya

But I wish that you were making love to me, oh why

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

(I die, die, baby, I die, die, oh)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

(Why, why, why)

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

(Oh why oh why, baby, oh why oh why, oh girl, I just die)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms (You'll never know)

You'll never know how much I'd love to you have you as my girl

(To have you as my girl)

I'll open my heart and soul, and share with you my world

(Why, why, why, why, why, yeah, yeah)

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

(Why couldn't it be me in your arms?)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

(I die, die, I die, die a thousand times)

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

(Ooh, ooh oh, why, I just die)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

(Die, die, die when I see you in his arms)

Why, why, why, why it couldn't be me

(Oh baby, why couldn't it be me? Oh oh, oh oh)

I just die, die, die, die every time I see you in his arms

(I die, I die, I die, I die, die)

Why, why, why, why
