Why oh Why oh Why
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?
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 every time 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 just had enough of me?
Oh why, do I always have cry myself to sleep seven days a week?
La, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
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

That's a very different version of the song. Quite a bit more bounce in the rhythm. Thank you for all the wonderful music you made. I can't help but sing along when I hear your songs
