WHY DOES LOVE END?

I love her but she's gonna go
But I say, "Please, baby NO"
I tell her I love her, but she don't wanna hear it
She said it to me once, but she just won't repeat it
When I talk to you, you look the other way
I just don't understand why it's turned out this way
Are we lovers or are we friends
Does this love really have to end?

I think about you all the time
I'm whispering sweet nothings in your ear
Your face lights up and you put your hand in mine
How could it be you who makes me start crying
The only thing I want is you right here
Lady, lady please be mine
Tell me something if you're my friend
Why did this love ever have to end?

We broke up once because I told a friend
That this love just had to end
I met a new girl who I thought was all that
When I was with her I would smile and chat
I thought I loved her, but this wasn't true
The only girl I ever want is you
I said a few words and we were back together
I told my friends that I really, really love her
Now you say you don't really want me
Friends are all you want us to be
Friends is fine, I say while crying
She'll miss me when I'm gone, Is she lying?
It's hard to believe that I've lost my girlfriend
Why does the first love eventually come to an end?
