Lyrics

Tell me why I made the same mistake again?
Why?
Well I was alright till you moved in
Well it seems I've been this way before
But I've never felt so bad
Why?
People think that it's easy
They ain't never tried
Play on a stage for a living
Never see the other side
Well I ain't complaining
I just think it's a crying shame
The folks with the least to give
Are the folks with the most to gain
Tell me why I made the same mistake again?
Why?
I was alright till you moved in
Well it seems I've been this way before
But I've never felt so bad
Why?
People think that it's easy
They ain't never tried
Play on a stage for a living
Never see the other side
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
