Why was I born, why am I livin'? What do I get, what am I givin'? Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for? What can I hope for? I wish I knew Why do I try to draw you near me? Why do I do I cry? You never hear me I'm a poor fool, but what can I do? Why was I born to love you?I'm a poor fool, but what can I do? Why was I born to love you? Some other versions may include an intro: Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories Only to wake up all by myself What is the good of me by myself?
