 Struggling with Why?? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

We've always been so close together
Doing things that only best friends should
Always there for one another
Through the bad times and the good
The other night you held me close
Need to know did
Have We just cross the line?
This other side feels so right
Won't you tell me why
[CHORUS:]
Why? Why?
Why do friends to
Lovers take so long
And when they come around
They finally find 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
Here we go, here we go,
Move to the beat and go with the flow,
Come, come,
Gimme, gimme, come gimme more
Move to the beat pump up the tempo.
For so long I've been searching
For a love I call my own
Now I know I was only waiting
For the face I've always known
I believe what Heaven is
Just like this every time we kiss
Deep inside feel so high
Won't you tell me why
[Repeat chorus]
As we do it's with integrity
v-v-v-v-i-i-p-p-p
We're young fresh, wise born celebrities,
mna, mna move your be	-be	-body
Now that I stop and think about it
How did I ever live without
Your warm and gentle touch
I needed it so much
 (Chorus)
