Why Keep Wishing
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 only want me 'round
When someone turns you down
You always think of me
As just a friend in need
I wish you were my own
But still I'm all alone
So why keep wishin'
When I know that you don't care
Each time your new love strays
I think you're back to stay
But then you go away
And leave me so lonely
I guess it just can't be
You're not in love with me
So why keep wishin'
When I know that you don't care
Each time your new love strays
I think you're back to stay
But then you go away
And leave me so lonely
I guess it just can't be
You're not in love with me
So why keep wishin'
When I know that you don't care
