Lyrics
We met in the back of
a big, noisy kitchen
where working was hard
adn people were bitching
but somehow we found
a way to each other
and tenderly grew
to love one another....
Sometimes I wonder why
I was such a lucky guy
to find a girl like this
in such a place of unhappiness...
It didn't take long
to get us together
we'd meet out in back
in spite of the weather
I'd hug her and hold
and tell her I loved her
Just letting her know
I was thinking of her...
Then she was off to class
and the day would slowly pass
but I'd wait patiently
till she was back again with me
But one day she told me that
she didn't want me
and all the good memories
came back to haunt me
I called her and wrote her
some tender love letters
but things got worse
and nothing got better
whoah..oh..oh
Sometimes I wonder why/
our sweet love it had to die
I had held such happiness
but now I held only loneliness
We parted one night
when i could not stand it
I'd asked for her love
but I couldn't demand it
for she was a free girl
with choices to make
and the love she had given
was not mine to take
whoa..ooo..ooo..oh
Sometimes I wonder why/
our sweet love it had to die
I had held such happiness
but now I held only loneliness
And Oh, how I'm wishing
I was back in that kitchen
where working was hard
and people were bitching
cause somehow we'd find
a way to each other
and tenderly grow
to love one another again
