[Intro]
But when I kissed her, my heart just wasn't in it

[Verse 1]
(How can I) go on living without you (How can I)
When all I do is dream (How can I) and think about you all the time (How can I)
(How can I) And all the time I spend (How can I) just hating myself
Feeling you might decide to (How can I) fall in love with someone else

[Chorus]
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I?

I held another, and I know that you've seen it
I cross my heart and hope to die, I didn't mean it
My love for you (Strayed away for just a minute)
But when I kissed her, my heart just wasn't in it

[Verse 2]
(How can I) I deserve it (How can I), so go on and make me suffer
Ah, but the suffering gets (How can I) tougher and tougher all the time (How can I)
(How can I) All I do is pray (How can I) that you return some day
My darling, and say (How can I), say that you are mine (How can I)

[Chorus]
How can I? (How can I?)

I held another, and I know that you've seen it
I cross my heart and hope to die, I didn't mean it
My love for you (Strayed away just for just a minute)
But when I kissed her, my heart just wasn't in it

[Verse 2]
(How can I) I deserve it (How can I), so go on and make me suffer
Ah, but the suffering gets (How can I) tougher and tougher all the time (How can I)
(How can I) And all I do is pray (How can I) that you return some day
My darling, and say (How can I), say that you are mine (How can I)

[Chorus]
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)
How can I? (How can I?)

[Outro]
(How can I?) (Do-do-do-lo-do)
(How can I?) (Do-do-do-lo-do)
(How can I?) (Do-do-do-lo-do)
(How can I?) (Do-do-do-lo-do)
