Lyrics
Forty reasons why I often wonder About the girl who led me on Thru the thunder and the rain. Why don't you ever hold me? I don't believe you, don't believe you told me. Forty reasons why I am singing My head is turning and My heart is stinging And you got me on a string — That kind of love can be a lonely thing. And it's growing old that gives people the blues And it's growing up that gets me confused. I've been working and I sit for a while And my mind wanders to your distant smile. I bend down to tie my shoe, Lord knows right then that I am thinking of you. And I am listening to my favorite band And I was wishing I was holding your hand. I keep hoping that one day you'll see And you'll go looking for a man like me, 'cause I am like a song without notes — Without you. I am like a little boy without hope, Without you. I am like the moon without the sun, Dark and lonely, 'cause you're the only one. Dark and lonely without you.
