Times like this I wonder why you don’t see
The emotional struggle I’m stuck in
I want nothing more than a you and me

My friends tell me all the time “Let it be”
But they can’t taste my hunger to just win
Times like this I wonder why you don’t see

Our discussions are something you could have over tea
Trapped in an iron curtain just like Berlin
I want nothing more than a you and me

I hear your voice and my face lights up with glee
The way you make my heart race should be a sin
Times like this I wonder why you don’t see

I see others and say they’re nothing like he
My mind feels like it’s trapped in a loony bin
I want nothing more than a you and me

I’m the best for you, the best that could ever be
Sitting here shaking my head with a glass of gin
Times like this I wonder why you don’t see
I want nothing more than a you and me
