Why, Mr. Anderson? - Don Davis

Why am I lonely?

You’re sitting right here

Why am I talkin'?

It’s like I’m talkin' to the air

What am I lookin' for?

That just isn’t there

Why am I angry

And how did it get so bad?

And why am I missin'

What we never really had?

And why don’t you love me

The way I love you?

And why don’t you feel things

As deep as I do?

We’ve got a fundamental difference

In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

Like a river needs an ocean

Baby, why don’t you love me?

Who am I kiddin', baby?

It wasn’t meant to be

But you wanted a believer

And I needed to believe

For every wall you built around you

I learned a brand new way to climb

And if I could’ve been your angel

I would’ve found a way to fly

And why don’t you love me

The way I love you?

And why don’t you feel things

As deep as I do?

We’ve got a fundamental difference

In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

Like a river needs an ocean

Baby, why don’t you love me?

I don’t understand you

What’s it take to make you cry

And if leavin' you don’t break you

Then baby what’s it matter, why?

Why don’t you love me

The way I love you?

And why don’t you feel things

As deep as I do?

We’ve got a fundamental difference

In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

Like a river needs an ocean

Baby, why don’t you love me?

Why don’t you love me?

(Why don’t you love me?)

Can you tell me why?

(Why don’t you feel things)

Can you tell me why, baby?

(Why don’t you love me?)

I cannot know why

(Why don’t you feel things?)

Can you talk to me, baby?

(Why don’t you love me?)

Can you tell me why?

(Why don’t you feel things?)

Why am I lonely?

(Why don’t you love me?)

When you’re sitting right there

(Why don’t you feel things?)
