Lyrics:

Words and music by rick nielsen
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever
Oh why can't i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever

First thing you know
Is what you're looking for
Next thing you know is where you find it
You can't explain the pain
Of feelin' so alone
So I won't even try to tell you, no

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever
Oh why can't i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever

Some days it hurts so bad
Can't take it anymore
Those days and nights
They last forever
Some ways of feelin' good don't feel good anymore
They only mask your real feelings
Why, oh why, why, oh why

Halfway up, halfway down
Won't you turn my luck around
Halfway here, halfway there
Say the words and I'll be there

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever
Oh why can't i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't i
Be in love forever

Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
