Why, Oh Why, Oh Why
Gilbert O'Sullivan


Why is it you must be
So very cruel to me
In order to me 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
Whatever I've done
Surely I've a right to know
Oh why, oh why, oh why

Why is it everytime
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 had enough of me
Oh why
Do I always have cry myself to sleep
Seven days a week

La la la la la 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
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why
