[From him to me for me to sing to him]
Why is it you must be so
very cruel to me in order to be kind
Why when I hold you close do you
insist your toes are being stood on by mine
Why when I kiss your lips do you
astound me saying that you won't put your arms around me
no one should be that cold
What ever I've done surely
I've a right to know
oh why oh why oh why
Why is it ev'ry time we visit friends of mine
you never want to go
Why when I'm feeling good you act as if
I should be at an all time low
Why after all these years we've been together must you
behave as if we'd hardly ever spoken let alone met
It seems that you're happy as long as I'm upset
oh why oh why oh why
Is it that you don't love me
oh why
have you just had enough of me
oh why do I always have to cry myself to-oo sleep
seven days a week
La la la la la la la . . .
Why in the name of God
are you so angry
could it be that you can
no longer stand me
tell me and I will go
You're breaking my heart
just in case
you didn't know
oh why oh why oh why . . .
(~Gilbert O'Sullivan)
