Ooh-oh
Wow-woh-woh-wow
Hey
My phone rings, 5am
See your name and I know
What you're about to say
Before you say it
I guess he didn't come home again
Same old same
Kinda commit now that silly game
Why, you play it?
Especially when I've been
Inviting you in
To this big one
Better be mine for the longest time
When your man said
He's gonna be home tonight
So why? (Why, why, why, why)
Why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Why? (Why, why, why, why)
Baby why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Why?
Oh why?
Baby why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
As the rains hits the window
I can tell you're lonely and a little anxious
Yes indeed
Feeling guilty about being on this phone with me
I know you wanna be a good girl
I ain't mad you at all
But there's a reason that
When he didn't come back
I'm the first person to call
Maybe cause I've been inviting you in
Better be mine for the longest time
When your man said
He's gonna be home tonight
So why? (Why, why, why, why)
Oh why? Why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Why? (Why, why, why, why)
Oh, baby why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Why?
You don't have to be alone
Baby, a bed on your own
Oh why? Oh why?
Baby in these quiet storms
Let me keep you warm
Oh why? Oh why?
Baby tell me why
Tell me why you sleeping alone?
Oh why? Why are you sleeping (sleeping) alone tonight?
So Why? (Why, why, why, why baby tell me why?)
Oh, baby why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Why? (Why, why, why, why)
Oh why? (Baby why, why, why, why, why?
Oh why?
How?
