I don't know why she won't love me

Lord, please tell me why

Maybe it's that she don't love me

Don't count on it please, she's shy



If she's shy then I'll understand

I'll make the first move and hold her hand

But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad

La-da-da-da-da



I've been tryin' oh so hard

But she don't seem to notice

I sit next to her in class

But she can't see my motive



Do you think she has a boy

If she has then I'm done

'Cause if he catches me with her

I think I'll have to run



If she's passive she'll understand

I'll value my love but not in her hands

But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad

La-da-da-da-da

La-da-da-da-da

La-da-da-da-da
