Lyrics If I Had the Answer - Paper Mache Kisses

I need you to look at me
You're the epitome of love and blue sky
This is something new to me
Why can't you be a winner

They try to sell me their pain and lies
I'll be with you
I'm on your side
You've seen the things that I've seen

You know that there are certain things I fear
And sometimes in the evening, a face appears
I know it's you, my dear
And if I had the answer, I'd scream about it loud so everyone could hear

And I don't think it's fair, my love, that life, it doesn't strike them down from above
Why can't you stay forever
You tell me something coy, something clever
I read your lips, I love your smile

I'd walk a million miles for you
This is something old to me
Why can't you be here with me
They try to sell me so many lies

I'll be with you, girl
You're on my side
You've seen the things that I've seen
You know that there are certain things I fear

And sometimes in the evening, a face appears
I know it's you, my dear
And if I had the answer, I'd scream about it loud so everyone could hear
And I don't think it's fair, my love, that life, it doesn't strike them down from above
