[From the CD-single "A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold, pt I", 1995]
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you happy
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you stay
Somebody help me, how can I get your attention
Somebody tell me, why have we ended up this way
When I first saw you
Darling always from the start, I wanted to be with you
If I could only hold you
Take you in my arms, I can be there too
Tell me again, is there nothing I can do
To make you belive, every word I'm saying is true
Tell me you know what I mean
Nobody told me that I would be running round in circles
Nobody told me I'd just be waiting by the phone
Somebody help me, tell me ther's no misunderstanding
Somebody tell me, why am I sitting here alone
All I'm asking
Darling look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Is it a dream
Or is it a fading memory, of you and me
Tell me again, is there nothing I can do
To make you belive, every word I'm saying is true
Tell me you know what I mean
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you happy
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you stay
Somebody help me, how can I get your attention
Somebody tell me, why we've ended up this way
Nobody told me, Nobody told me
Somebody help me, Somebody help me
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you happy
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you stay
Somebody help me, how can I get your attention
Somebody tell me, why have we ended up this way
When I first saw you
Darling always from the start, I wanted to be with you
If I could only hold you
Take you in my arms, I can be there too
Tell me again, is there nothing I can do
To make you belive, every word I'm saying is true
Tell me you know what I mean
Nobody told me that I would be running round in circles
Nobody told me I'd just be waiting by the phone
Somebody help me, tell me ther's no misunderstanding
Somebody tell me, why am I sitting here alone
All I'm asking
Darling look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Is it a dream
Or is it a fading memory, of you and me
Tell me again, is there nothing I can do
To make you belive, every word I'm saying is true
Tell me you know what I mean
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you happy
Nobody told me what I had to do to make you stay
Somebody help me, how can I get your attention
Somebody tell me, why we've ended up this way
Nobody told me, Nobody told me
Somebody help me, Somebody help me
