[Verse 1]
Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall
My mind is running wild trying hard not to fall
You tell me that you love me but say I'm just a friend
My heart is broken up into pieces

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know I'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor

[Chorus]
Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

[Refrain]
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?

[Verse 2]
The day after tomorrow I'll still be around
To catch you when you fall and never let you down
You say that we're forever, our love will never end
I've tried to come up but it's drowning me to know

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor
Tell me baby

[Chorus]
Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

[Refrain]
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?

[Bridge]
You won't ever know
How far we can go (Go)
You won't ever know
How far we can go (Go)

[Chorus]
Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why
Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

[Refrain]
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?
(Why not me, why not me?)

Enrique Iglesias

Regarded as the “King of Latin Pop”, Enrique Iglesias is a bilingual singer, songwriter, actor, and music producer. He was born in Madrid, Spain with two older siblings and a father who was also a popular musician, Julio Iglesias. Enrique started his career in 1995 on a Spanish American record label– Fonovisa Records. Around five years after his start Enrique had made a successful crossover into American mainstream music and signed a $68 million dollar contract with Universal Music Latin Entertainment for Spanish music releases and Interscope Records for English music releases. Connecting strongly with both music markets, Enrique was something beyond what the average artist could offer at the time. After making many of his greatest hits with these two labels, in 2015 Iglesias signed with Sony Music. As of 2017 Iglesias has over 150 number one hits across all of the Billboard charts and has sold over 159 million records— making him one of the best selling Spanish artists of all time.
