Why Did It Have to Be Me?

When you were lonely, you needed a man

Someone to lean on, well I understand

It's only natural but why did it have to be me?

Nights can be empty and nights can be cold

So you were looking for someone to hold

That's only natural but why did it have to be me?

I was so lonesome, I was blue

I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

Now I can see you are beginning to care

But baby, believe me, it's better to forget me

Men are the toys in the game that you play

When you get tired, you throw 'em away

That's only natural but why did it have to be me?

Falling in love with a woman like you

Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do

It's only natural but why did it have to be me?

I was so lonesome, I was blue

I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

Now I can see you are beginning to care

But baby, believe me, it's better to forget me
