[Verse 1]

Though it's only young, I know

Is it too much to love you so?

And it's weighing down inside

It's only you that keeps my heart alive

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Giving all, giving all, giving all my best to you

You keep taking, I'm pretending my love don't decline

Giving all, giving all, giving all the rest to you

Why'd you always search for something I just can't provide?

[Chorus]

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy, ooh

You should know by now

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy

Who'll only bring you down

He'll only bring you down

[Verse 2]

Just another wasted breath

Isn't time much better spent

Telling me what's on your mind

And how it's me that keeps your heart alive?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Giving all, giving all, giving all my best to you

Why'd you search for someone else to set your heart alight?

Giving all, giving all, giving all the rest to you

I can't shake the feeling that your heart ain't only mine

[Chorus]

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy, ooh

You should know by now

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy

Who'll only bring you down

He'll only bring you down

[Bridge - Excerpt from the movie Stripes (1981): Anita and John Winger]

It's not gonna work!

Look, I like you, but I need something more

I need somebody who's gonna develop with me

Somebody who's gonna grow with me. Bye

Grow? Who can grow more than me?

Talk about massive potential for growth!

I am the little acorn that becomes the oak!

You can't go! All the plants are gonna die!

[Chorus]

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy, ooh

You should know by now

Why'd you wanna spend time with another guy

Who'll only bring you down

[Outro]

He'll only bring you down, down, down, oh

He'll only bring you down, down, down, oh

He'll only bring you down, yeah, whoa

He'll only bring you down
