Your love made a slave of me
But the love you gave, you took away from me
Foolishly, I believed in you
What a fool I was, thinking love was true
Selfishly you broke my heart
You really had me fooling from the start

Still I have just one regret
Although you're gone, I can't forget

Why when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Oh why when the love is gone
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on?

Your love was sweet when it started
But now I find it leaves me broken hearted
Why do you swear to always care
Then walk away and leave me in despair
Heartlessly you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye

Still I have just one regret
Although love is gone, I can't forget

Why when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Oh why when the love is gone
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on?

Ooooh
Selfishly you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye
Still I have the one regret
Although love is gone, I can't forget

Why when the love is gone
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on?
Ooh why when the love is gone
Ooh why does my heart keep holding on?

Oh why, oooh why, oh why, ooh why
Tell me why, ooooh why, oh why,
Tell me why.
