He, friend for all my life,
I would not deny
Like brothers in my mind.
She's treasure of his heart,
There upon his arm
Eyes of midnight stars,
I've been tempted by forbidden love before,
But why must she be everything
That I've been praying for?
Now this burning in my heart will I ignore
When I know that she'll be knocking at my door?
[Chorus:]
Why you messing with my feelings?
Why you follow me?
I can read the signs you're giving.
Why you follow me?
Turn away from your desire!
Why you follow me?
Don't be playing with this fire!
Why you follow me?
Now she's dancing in the night,
Her body in the moonlight
Too much for me to fight,
Now I'm lost within her arms,
I'm careless with my heart,
I'm weakened by her charms.
He has looked me in my eyes a million times,
But now I turn away for I'm afraid
Of what he'll find.
She's the precious love
For whom his heart beats for,
But now she's always knocking at my door.
[Chorus:]
Why you messing with my feelings?
Why you follow me?
I can read the signs you're giving.
Why you follow me?
Turn away from your desire!
Why you follow me?
Don't be playing with this fire!
Why you follow me?
