Why Not Me Lyrics

WHY NOT ME 

 Fred Knoblock 

  

  

 I'll take another wedding in stride 

 Here's another June wedding 

 I'm sittin' on the bride's side...again 

 Why do they always have to play that song? 

 You know the one 

 It's funny, but we never get to sing along 

  

 Her daddy's got her by one arm 

 I used to have her by the other 

 At least until she found another lover and then another 

  

 Why not me? 

 We had a real love 

 She just didn't think we could put it all together 

 Why not me? 

 We had a real love 

 But in a flash, she's gone forever 

  

 Well, I think we're all here 

 I see Bill and Charlie 

 No, wait -- Eddie got smart 

 He had a golf game, and he just had to go to it 

 Why do they always have to ask that question? 

 You know the one 

 Should I speak now or forever hold my peace of mind? 

  

 Why not me? 

 We had a real love 

 She just didn't think we could put it all together 

 Why not me? 

 We had a real love 

 But in a flash, she's gone forever, gone forever 

  

 And the ceremony is grand 

 But old lovers never get to make a last stand 

 And I held some rice in my hand 

 I let it fall to the floor 

 I just don't care anymore 

  

 I'll just get drunk at the reception 

 I won't think about her twice 

 I'll just say, "Congratulations. You both look real nice, real nice." 

  

 Why not me? 

 We had a real love 

 She just didn't think we could put it all together
