Why Me?
Lyrics:
[English]
Now if you've seen my baby
My baby is oh, so fine
She's long and lean
And never mean
She tastes like cherry wine
And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)
Now a love like mine
Should never be denied
I want to hug and kiss her
Oh Lord, I really miss her all the time
All the time
Now I said
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, why, why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today
Than I loved her yesterday
When I thought that she'd come back to me
Why me?
...
Now if you've seen my baby
Tell her this for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Down as I can be
And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)
Now a love like mine
Should never be denied
I want to hug and kiss her
Oh Lord, I really miss her all the time
All the time
Now I said
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, why, why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to me
Why me? (Why me?)
...
Then I said
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, why, why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to me
Why me?
Now I said
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, why, why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to-
Why me? Why me?
Why me? Why me?
Why me? Why me?
Why me?
...
