40 reasons why I often wonder
*Bought* 'Bout a girl who lead me on through the thunder and the rain

Why don't you ever hold me
I *don''t* don't believe I don't believe you told me

40 reasons why I am singing
My head is turning and my heart is stinging and

You have got me on a string
That kind of love can be a lonely thing and
growing old gives people the blues but it's
growing older always gets you confused

Why don't you ever hold me
I don't believe I don't believe you told me

40 reasons why I am singing
My head is turning and my heart is stinging and

I been working and I sit for a while 
and my mind wanders to your distant smile and

I bend down to tie my shoe
lord knows right then that I am thinking of you and
I am listening to my favorite band
and I am wishing I was holding your hand

Why don't you ever hold me
I don't believe I don't believe you told me

40 reasons why I am singing
My head is turning and my heart is stinging and

You, only you

I keep hopin' that one day you'll see
and you'll go looking for a man like me 'cause

I am like a song without notes 
with out you, without you
I am like a little boy without hope
without you, without you
I am like the moon without the sun
dark and lonely cause your the only one.
Hear what I say
I'm dark and lonely - I'm dark and grey
I'm dark and lonely in and of the day
I'm dark and lonely without you
