I always try to play it cool
I'm wide awake all through the night
I keep laughing when I wanna cry
I keep laughing when I wanna cry
Sitting by the telephone
When I want to cry, I do believe it
Gotta keep on smiling
And I wonder why
And there you sit inside my picture frame
Do I always seem to say it too
And I wonder why
When things don't always turn out right
Gotta keep on laughing
And I wonder why
I always try to play it so cool
I wonder why, I wonder why
Ever since you said goodbye
And here I'm all alone
Sitting by the telephone
But it's not the same
Keep waiting for the morning light
And I can't help myself
Ooh, sing it
I mean hello but say goodbye
And here I'm all alone
Every day seems like there's no tomorrow
Keep waiting for the morning light
And every night I wonder why
Still wide awake, all through the night
Sitting by the telephone
And I don't know why
And I'm wide awake
And here I'm all alone
I wonder why, I wonder why
