Lyrics 

Why was I born?
 Why am I livin'?
 What do I get?
 What am I givin'?
 Why do I want for things
 I dare not hope for?
 What can I hope for?
 I wish I knew
 Why do I try
 To draw you near me?
 Why do I cry?
 You never hear me
 I'm a poor fool
 But what can I do?
 Oh baby, why was I born?
 To love you
