Why? - Hoodoo Gurus

I’m drinking «Mother's Ruin»

And grooving-out to 'You Am I'

«Well, Hi!»

I’m cornered and I’m hoping

For once your mouth ain’t open wide

Oh, My!

My!

My!

My!

Tell me why

You can’t look me in the eye?

Tell me why

You always have to lie?

What is that strange aroma

That tells me you’re not bona-fide?

Oh, why, why, why, why?

It’s always necessary

To get you’re stories verified

Oh why… Why, why, why?

Tell me why you can’t look me in the eye?

Tell me why you always have to lie?

Tell me why, 'cause it’s pointless to deny!

Please tell me why?

So help me

Your friends are getting fewer

Have you considered suicide?

(You might try)

Your cookie has to crumble

And you’ll be eating humble pie in the sky by-and-by

Tell me why you can’t look me in the eye?

Tell me why you always have to lie?

Tell me why 'cause it’s pointless to deny!

Tell me why you don’t just curl up and die?

Tell me why?
