jimmy webb - why do i have to... lyrics

[verse 1]
i always find that you speak your mind
you’re sweet and kind as you can be
i know you’re tryin’ to be open with me
but i’ve never heard you say the word
has it occurred to you at all?
you call ten ties a day
but just to chat
you never talk about that

[chorus]
why do i have to make you say you love me?
why do you leave me hangin’ in midair?
you say you never lie
but if it’s true then why
why do i have to make you say you love me?
why do i have to take what i can get from you
when i’ve given far more than my share?
you tease me ’til i ache
it hurts for heaven’s sake
what will it take to make you say you love me?

[verse 2]
so what’s my fate, would you set me straight?
please don’t frustrate me even more
i get so tense i almost come unstrung
“cat got your tongue?”
[chorus]
why do i have to make you say you love me?
why do you leave me hanging in midair?
you say you never lie
but if it’s true then why
why do i have to make you say you love me?
why do i have to take what i can get from you
when i’ve given far more than my share?
you tease me ’til i ache
it hurts for heaven’s sake
what will it take to make you say you love me?
you’re not playing fair

[outro]
you say you never lie
but if it’s true then why
why do i have to make you say you love me?
why do i have to take what i can get from you
when i’ve given far more than my share?
you tease me ’til i ache
it hurts for heaven’s sake
what will it take to make you say you love me?
