Why Do Things Happen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me
I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me
Well, I'm blue and I'm lonesome, my heart is filled with misery
Oh, so many strange things, they happen to me all day long
Oh, so many strange things, they happen to me all day long
yes, it seems like everything I do, everything I do is wrong
I had a good reputation, the greatest man in town
But I'm having so much troubles, till they 'bout to drag me down
I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me
I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me
Well, I'm blue and I'm lonesome, my heart is filled with misery
I got up on my feet, I had lots of friends
But bad luck had hit me, now I'm down again
