 Tom:

 1. No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love,

  for nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you, love.

  All my love, I give gladly to you,

  all your love you give gladly to me.

  Tell me, why then, oh why should it be that

  We go on hurting each other, we go on hurting each other,

  making each other cry, hurting each other,

  without ever knowing - - why.

 2. Closer than the leaves on a weepin' willow, baby, we are,

  closer, dear, are we than the simple letters 'A' and 'B' are.

  All my life, I could love only you,

  all your life you could love only me.

  Tell me, why then, oh why should it be that

  We go on hurting each other, we go on hurting each other,

  making each other cry, hurting each other,

  without ever knowing - - why.

  Can't we stop hurting each other, gotta stop hurting each other,

  making each other cry, breaking each other's heart,

  tearing each other apart.

  Can't we stop hurting each other, gotta stop hurting each other,

  making each other cry, breaking each other's heart,

  tearing each other apart….
