Why do I feel so different
Why am I all alone
Isn’t there somebody in the world for me
What does it take to find the one

Why can’t I make you love me
Why can’t I make you see
That I am all you will ever need
But you won’t even notice me

Day by day
Hour by hour
You are all I think about
When I dream at night
I dream you are in my arms

Why can’t I make you love me
Why can’t I make you see
That I am all you will ever need
But you won’t even notice me

As you go from guy to guy
I am always there
But you won’t let me in
You keep me on the outside

Why can’t I make you love me
Why can’t I make you see
That I am all you will ever need
But you won’t even notice me

Why can’t I live without you
Why must I love you
How come you won’t love me too
And why can’t I just leave you

Why can’t I make you love me
Why can’t I make you see
That I am all you will ever need
But you won’t even notice me

Hello plumbdumb, welcome to Pip!

This sounds like a nice song of unrequited love. The repetition strengthens the feeling of despair.

Love,
Margherita

thanks for the comments here is a revised version

What does it take to find the one?
Who is as pure as the morning sun?
You move with such grace
You set my heart a ’race
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t  you see
All you will ever need is me
But you don’t even notice me

Skin that has been kissed by the sun
So satiny smooth it glows when the day is done
Your hair with its russet colored hue
Glistens as thought covered in dew

Why can’t you love me
Why can’t  you see
All you will ever need is me
But you don’t even notice me
As you go from guy to guy
I can’t help but wonder why
You know in me you can confide
Yet you keep me on the outside
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you see
All you will ever need is me
But you won’t even notice me
  
With eyes as green as the sea
That always sparkle with glee
Your laugh is gentle as falling rain
When you do it erases all my pain

Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you see
All you will ever need is me
But you won’t even notice me

Unable to live without you
All of the little things that you do
The quiet, shy smile that shows
And the way you twitch you nose

Why can’t you love me
Why can’t  you see
All you will ever need is me
But you won’t even notice
