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.
One shinin' bright
The other hung the moon
Just like night and day
One must leave the room
Oh why, tell me why
First, second, third
Sounds just like a lover
Home went way out left field
Left his base uncovered
Oh why, tell me why
Newton found his theory
Lyin' underneath a tree
But, long before that
Ly Mr. Adam, Ms. Eve
Oh, why
Why, Why, Why
Why you wanna make me cry
Why, you wanna make me do those things I do
Makin' a fool of myself over you
Oh why, tell me why
I wasn't born yesterday
I know where I was the day before
Sittin' on a plane
I was knocking at her door
And why, I'll tell you why
I was there for only what was mine
And that's sixteen years of my precious time
And, that there, I don't take too lightly
Come on home, Darlin', let's go quietly
