Hold up, wait a minute, can you tell me, promise you'll be honest
And you'll tell me everything that you feel
I just wanna know the truth, even if it hurts me, boo
Tell me now if you can, I just wanna understand
Tell me why
(Why, why)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?
I keep trying
(Try, try)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?
My heart is crying, I need to be loved
Hold up, wait a minute, can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and you'll tell me everything, keep it real
Is it the way I wear my hair, just tell me the truth, boy
I don't care, look at me as I am, I just don't understand
Tell me why
(Why, why)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?
I keep trying
(Try, try)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved?
My heart is crying I need to be loved
What's wrong with me?
(What's wrong with me)
How come you don't wanna be in love with me?
(Love with me)
What can I do to be perfect for you?
Tell me I'll do anything, I'll be anything
If you say you love me, uuh
I still love you, I'm sorry
And I'm gonna make it up to you, baby
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I still love you, (love you baby) I'm sorry
And I'm gonna make it up to you baby
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
Tell me why
(Why, why)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be lived
I keep trying
(Try, try)
Why won't you love me the way I need to be loved
My heart is crying I need to be loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
Why won't you love me
My heart is crying I need to be loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much I love you
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you like you need to be loved
Why won't you love me
