Why...

Doesn't he hear my heart beat

Why can't he read what goes through my mind

I wonder why

I wonder why...

Now I'm not the kind of girl

That you would call shy

But if I told you I'm brave

I would probably lie

It's all in your hands baby can't you see

Nothing is ever for free

[chorus]

I wonder why

Doesn't he hear my heart beat

Why can't he read what goes through my mind

I wonder why

Doesn't he feel this strange heat

I feel whenever he's around

I wonder why

If I told him the truth

That he has this effect

Would he hold me or laugh at me

How would he react

Everything in your life that you might wanna do

Girl it's all up to you

[chorus]
