Let's lay down our arms tonight
And do no more harm tonight
We must end this war before love dies
We don't mean the things we said
Darling, please, come back to bed
I can't bear the sadness in your eyes
Why, tell me why
Why do we fight?
Can't we just love and let live?
Baby, try, though we try
Sometimes we lose sight of what tenderness is
If only we knew why
Two hearts that burn as one
That's how it was when our love was young
Now the sparks that fly just make us cry
Why, tell me why
Why do we fight?
Can't we just love and let live?
Baby, try, though we try
Sometimes we lose sight of what tenderness is
If only we knew why
Why, tell me why
Why do we fight?
Why can't we love and let live?
Baby, try, though we try
Sometimes we lose sight of what tenderness is
If only we knew why
If only we knew why
