Hey now baby, you're looking for a place to sleep
The night is cold, the city's big
You're in trouble deep

Something tells me you shouldn't be the lonely one
I'll make you mine, make you feel you're the only one

And I say
Why why why don't you keep me company
I'll try try try not to be in the way
I could help to end this misery
Oh why why why don't you let me stay

All those people putting on a weary face
Turn away as if to say
It's a real disgrace

Don't be shy now, take a step into the light
I'll feed your heart, feed your soul to your appetite

And I say
Why why why don't you keep me company
I'll try try try not to be in the way
I could help to end this misery
Oh why why why don't you let me stay

Our love would be innocent
Oh so innocent in every way

And I say
Why why why don't you keep me company
I'll try try try not to be in the way
I could help to end this misery
Oh why why why don't you let me stay
