Why Can't I Come To You

Why can't I come to you? Take a chance that you might understand? Why can't I talk to you? Say the words that would make everything clear About the way I feel toward you? -- It's such a strong emotion, so new to me -- About the way I feel inside? It must be love (bis) But I don't have the strength within myself To take the chance that you might scorn me. So I must wait, with hopeful heart, For you to look at me once more, And see a woman you could always love, And with nothing more than feelings, Know how very much she needs you.
