Why

Why

Why can't you try to be happy?
Why must you always be sad?
Why spend your only life waiting
to have what you know you can have?
Why spend your only life hoping?
What a torture to be always blue, darling


Why spend your only life waiting
to do what you know you can do?


What's the worst thing that could possibly happen
to you?


Mmm


Why spend your only life hopin',
What a torture to be always blue, darlin'


Why spend your only life waiting
To do what you know you can do?
Why spend your only life waiting
To do what you know you can do?


Ooh
