Why Not
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.
You think you're going nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet
Why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you
So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see}
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right
[Chorus:]
(So) Why Not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Why Not take a crazy chance [X2]
You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keeping waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Lets just get in to your car
And go, baby go
[Chorus]
Oh...oh
I could be the one for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes
Maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What Im saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never get to heaven or even to L.A
If you don't believe me there's a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
[Chorus]
