Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
Why, when I kiss your lips
Do you astound me?
Saying that you won't put
Your arms around me
[Verse 3]
No one should be that cold
Whatever I've done
Surely I have a right to know
Why oh why oh why
[Verse 4]
Why is it every time
We visit friends of mine
You never want to go?
[Verse 5]
Why, when I'm feeling good
You act as if I should
Be at an all time low?
[Verse 6]
Why, after all these years
We've been together
Must you behave
As if we'd hardly ever
Spoken, let alone met
[Verse 7]
It seems that you're happy
As long as I'm upset
Oh why oh why oh why
[Verse 8]
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 sleep seven days a week?
[Verse 9]
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
