Lyrics Why? (Why do you treat me like you do) (Vorrei averti nonostante tutto) (2011 Digital Remaster;) - Mina

My story is the same as many others
But stories sometimes have a happy ending
I wait here in the shadows to be near you
But in my heart I know that I'm pretending

I hear you quiet footsteps on the stairway
I know that you're afraid that you will wake me
But I lie with my heart full of emotion
Just longing for your love to come and take me

Why, why do you treat me like you do?
You know there's no one else but you
I want you more that you will ever know
My world begins and ends when you are close to me
Without your love what will become of me
Wanting you, needing you, what can I do?

Now as I feel the warmth of you beside me
Your gentle breathing tells me you are sleeping
With deep desire my fingers turn to touch you
But only lonely shadows hear me weeping

It's wrong to treat me just like a possession
For I need to be loved the same as you do
While you have someone else to feed your hunger
There's no one else I want to turn to

Why, why do you treat me like you do?
You know there's no one else but you
I want you more that you will ever know
My world begins and ends when you are close to me
Without your love what will become of me
Wanting you, needing you, what can I do?

A day without a dream is not worth living
And so I'll go on dreaming we're together
For some were born for taking, some for giving
And I will give my love to you forever.
