Mis-Teeq - Why? lyrics

We've always been so close together
Doing things that only best friends do
Always there for one another
Through the bad times and the good
The other night, you held me close
Need to know, did we just cross the line?
This other side just feels so right
Won't you tell me why?

Why? Why?
Why do friends turned lovers take so long?
Now that we've come around
We finally found a love forever strong
Why? Why?
Why were you so near and yet so far?
How could I be so blind
When all the time I was in your heart?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

For so long I've been searching
For the love that I can call my own
Now I know I was only waiting
For the face I've always known
I believe what heaven is
It's just like this, every time we kiss
And deep inside I feel so high
Won't you tell me why?

Why? Why?
Why do friends turned lovers take so long?
Now that we've come around
We finally found a love forever strong
Why? Why?
Why were you so near and yet so far?
How could I be so blind
When all the time I was in your heart?

When I stop and think about it
How did I ever live without
Your warm and gentle touch?
I needed it so much

Why? Why? (why)
Why do friends turned lovers take so long?
Now that we've come around
We finally found a love forever strong
Why? Why? (why why why why)
Why were you so near and yet so far?
How could I be so blind
(how could I be, yeah)
When all the time I was in your heart?

Why were you so near to me?
When all the time I could not see
Finally found a love so strong
Can we, can we, just carry on?
Why? Why? (why why why why)
Why were you so near and yet so far?
(tell me why) how could I be so blind
When all the time I was in your heart?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la (why)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(why why why why why)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la (tell me why)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(why it takes so long)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la (why why why why)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la (so near)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
