The Hidden Queen.

I’ve loved you since the day we met,
But you don’t seem to love me yet,
Or maybe you are just afraid,
Scared you've made a big mistake,
Don’t worry, Babe, I’ve made one too,
I let my heart gamble and it lost you,

And I could cry,
O’ why, o’ why,
Did I let you walk away,
I guess I was shy,
Now I could die,
For not asking you to stay,

I’ve told myself a hundred times,
In a hundred songs and a hundred lines,
That you would not consider me,
And I was right or so it seems,
And I can’t say I’ll be all right,
Not until I know you’re mine,

And I could cry,
O’ why, o’ why,
Did I let you walk away,
I guess I was shy,
Now I could die,
For not asking you to stay,

You’re the best thing I’ve ever seen,
And I want you to be my queen,
I’m a little crazy to want your love,
But if I called; would you hang up,
I know that you don’t love me yet,
But I’ve loved you since the day we met,

And I could cry,
O’ why, o’ why,
Did I let you walk away,
I guess I was shy,
Now I could die,
For not asking you to stay,

Yes, I’m so sad,
And I feel so bad,
‘Cos I lost you, didn’t I, Babe.
