Wonder Why
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 said why, did ya ever even try?
Infiltrate but never find
Just fallin' slowly
You left me so damn lonely
Try
Steppin' back to when we rhymed
Maybe recreate the times
You were shy but happy
And we were fine and dandy
Here we are again, oh
But backseat love don't move me
I'm just far too choosy.
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better?
Baby don't you ever wonder why?
Back up, it's not that I think I'm clever
I just know that we could do much better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
I was never by your side?
Sigh, take a deep breath and rewind
Bite your tongue and let it slide
Got to see a doctor
Maybe that will shock ya
Love don't die, no
Especially when it penetrates and leaves you blind
And shaking mad and reckless
Got you feeling breathless
And here we go again
The backseat love don't move me
I'm just way too choosy
I'm just way too choosy
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why?
Back up, it's not that I think I'm clever
I just know that we could do much better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
I was never by your side?
(And I wonder why)
(And I wonder why)
Wonder why (And I wonder why)
Wonder why, why, why, why (And I wonder why)
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better?
(And I wonder why)
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better?
Baby don't you ever wonder why?
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better?
Baby don't you ever wonder why? No, no, no, no, no, no
Back up, it's not that I think I'm clever
I just know that we could do much better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
I was never by your side?
