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.
I know I've got everything I need
So why do I still shake the tree
There's somethin' missin' in my life
Been there, done it, that was nice
But there's still something shakin' me
Why do I do the things I do
Why do I say the things I say
I'm as close as I can get
Still I haven't found it yet
Somebody help me find my way
Are some suggestions
The things I do, I'm gonna let it out
Why not!
All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do, gonna let it out
Why Not!
Another late night cameo
Some other place another show
But I'm not gettin' tired yet
Have you heard a word I've said
I just dropped in to say hello
Should I stay or should I go
Should I leave well enough alone
Don't know what I have to do
Somehow I see myself in you
So tell me something I don't know
I want it all at any price
If I've done it once I've done it twice
Once you've got me in the mood
I can see myself in you
It's never wrong, it's never right
Now you see me now you don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
I'm as close as I can get
I just dropped in to say hello
Still I haven't found it yet
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Are some suggestions
The things I do, I'm gonna let it out
Why not!
All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do, gonna let it out
Why Not!
Are some suggestions
The things I do, I'm gonna let it out
Why not!
All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do, gonna let it out
Why Not!
