Lyrics
She walked into the door, and walked into my life. I never asked her for anything but she gave me. Greeting cards are a dollar and the laughter seems to be free. The yuppie that had no money, well she didn't bother me.
Chorus:Tell me why you want to love me. Tell me why you want to help. Cause you just told me all about me and expect me to get there myself.
Verse: Never knew why I did it. Always made me sick in the end. But I bet you why I did it had something to do with you my friend. Well you told me much about being strong, made me feel just like my feet belonged. I told myself I'd be replaced by your lovely arms and I'd never trace back to those old charms.
Chorus: Tell me why you want to love me. Tell me why you want to help. Cause you just told me all about me and expect me to get there myself.
