[Verse 1]
I see you (See me)
And it hits me hard, indeed
You're standin' (So close)
Oh but yet so far from me
I try to (speak up) oh, but, no words to say
I'm fearin' (You'll leave)
And you'll get away

[Chorus]
So, baby, tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time

[Verse 2]
You make me (Make me)
Feel like no one can
Like a man your body (So sweet)
Could be my best friend
Oh damn not that it's (It's the)
The only thing I need (Or want)
But really (You can't)
Girl you can't blame me
So don't
[Chorus]
So, baby, tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time

[Bridge: Before Dark & Tyrese]
I know you want to be with me
Girl I want you bad
So desperately baby
I am trying hard to wait for you
Till I find out why
Don't you leave my eye sight

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
Tell me, tell me, tell me, why I
Why I don't try
(When I) When I know you're fine
(But I) have a hard time
