[Verse One - Dee Edwards]
Instead of making conversation
Darling hold me tight
I wanna be thrilled by your caress
beneath the pale moonlight

I need your love so madly
I long for your affection
If i could only get your eyes to look in my direction

[Chorus - Dee Edwards]
So why can't there be love?
(Why, can't there be love)
Why oh why can't there be love?
(Can't there be love)
I wanna know why can't there be love (Ya)
Why oh why can't there be love
(Why oh why can't there)

[Verse Two - Dee Edwards]
Ooh why can't you see it in my eyes
My love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear
my strong appeal

I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to make my dreams
come true

[Chorus - Dee Edwards]
So why can't there be love?
(Why, can't there be love)
Why oh why can't there be love?
(Can? t there be love)
I wanna know why can't there be love (Ya)
Why oh why can't there be love?
(Why oh why can't there)

[Breakdown - Dee Edwards]
Ooh baby baby
why do you keep coming around
Treat me like a brand new toy that you have found
I wish i was a needle the way I love you so
Sow myself into your heart and never let you go

[Verse Three - Dee Edwards]
Yeah why can't you see it in my eyes
my love for you is real
It's time for you to wake up and hear
my strong appeal
I'm only asking for a chance to share a love with you
I know you've got the kind of love to
make my dream come true

[Chorus - Dee Edwards]
So why can't there be love?
(Why, can't there be love)
Why oh why can? t there be love?
(Can't there be love)
I wanna know why can? t there be love (Ya)
Why oh why can? t there be love?
(Why oh why can't there)

The birds do it and the bees do it, I wanna know why
Can't there be love
