[Verse 1]
You never see the little sparkle in my eye
I wonder why
Sometimes I wish you'd stop and hold me, but you pass right by
I wonder why

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried everything I could
I even changed my walk, the way that I stood
But you pass by me and pretend that you don't even see me
But I want you to know, mmm

[Chorus]
If one day you decide to smile and say hello and I say goodbye, mmm
Don't wonder why, my baby, no
Don't wonder why, my baby

[Verse 2]
When I think of how you hurt me, it brings the tears to my eyes
I just can't seem to make you happy, no matter how hard I try
I wonder why

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems like no matter what I do
It's never good enough for you
My pain, it shows loud, but it still can't let go now
But I want you to know now
[Chorus]
Nights grow old and winds blow cold, and so
If my loves grows cold and dies, don't wonder why, my baby, mmm, baby
Don't wonder why, sugar
Oh yeah

[Harmonica solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, seems like no matter what I do
I'm never, never, never, never, never good enough for you
My pain, it shows now
Oh, you know I still just don't wanna, I just can't let go now
But I want you to know, oh baby

[Chorus]
Nights grow old and winds blow cold, and so
If my love grows cold and dies, don't wonder why, baby
No, no, no, no, don't wonder why, my baby, ah

[Outro]
Baby, don't wonder why, don't wonder why, my baby
Don't wonder why, my baby
No, no, no, no, no, don't wonder why, my baby, ooh
Don't wonder why, my baby, ah
Can you hear me? Can you hear me, baby?
