Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we're wasting time
And days are passing by
Why oh why oh why
Are you still in the denial
When what we do so right
Why oh why oh why
If you don't want to try
Can't put my feelings aside
No, no, they won't go away
Baby I'm here to stay
And I'm like my oh my
Baby why oh why
Can't you see what I see
Are you not listening to me
I'm like my oh my
Baby why oh why
Feel there´s a way that we can be more than this
But your like
How can I make you understand how it feels
Why oh why
Baby my oh my
My oh my oh my
Time is running out
So just make up your mind
Why oh why oh why
Give me an answer now
If it's a no, Imma try a little harder
Cause I can't put my feelings aside
No, no they wont go away
Baby I'm here to stay
