Why, oh why, do they touch,
again, again, again,
again and again?

I belong to no one, none belong to me,
yet love, love, love, love, love
they offer me.
Why, oh why, they…
Why, oh why, they…
again, again, again,
again and again?

One teases, one whistles their lure,
one tempts with fortunes to secure.
One calls me Queen, meet my gaze,
beloved, embrace, forsake.
I belong to no one, none belong to me,
yet love, love, love, love, love
they offer me.
Why, oh why, they…
again, again, again,
again and again?

One calls me jasmine, one calls me rose,
one begs me, alone, to compose.
I am frightened, oh God, I swear,
how can I free myself from this snare?
I belong to no one, none belong to me,
I belong to no one, none belong to me,
yet love, love, love, love, love
they offer me.
Why, oh why, they…
again, again, again,
again and again?

The scholar and priest, they offer love,
they say, take this silver, from above.
My gaze, a dagger, a glance askew,
the whole city, my lover, true.
I belong to no one, none belong to me,
I belong to no one, none belong to me,
yet love, love, love, love, love
they offer me.
Why, oh why, they…
Why, oh why, they…
again, again, again,
again and again?
