Hold up, wait a minute, can you tell me?
Promise you'll be honest and you'll tell me
Everything
That you feel
I just wanna know the truth
Even if it hurts me
Tell me now if you can
I just wanna understand
Tell me why (why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be?
I keep trying (try, try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved?
My heart keeps cryin'
I need to feel loved
Hold up, wait a minute, can you tell me?
Promise you'll be honest and you'll tell me
Everything
Keep it real
Is it the way I wear my hair
Just tell me the truth, boy; I don't care
Look at me as I am
I just don't understand
Tell me why (why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be?
I keep trying (try, try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved?
My heart keeps cryin'
I need to feel loved
What's wrong with me? (what's wrong with me?)
How come you don't wanna be in love with me?
What can I do to be perfect for you?
Tell me; I'll do anything; I'll be anything
If you say you love me
I still love you; I'm sorry
And I'm gon' make it up to you, baby
I'm gon' love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gon' love you just the way you need to be loved
I still love you; I'm sorry
And I'm gon' make it up to you, baby
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
Tell me why (why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be?
I keep trying (try, try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved?
My heart keeps cryin'
I need to feel loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gon' love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
Why won't you love me?
My heart keeps cryin'
I need to feel loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gon' love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
Why won't you love me?
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gon' love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
