I Ask Why Lyrics

I Ask Why lyrics

The girl on the street corner can't wave back at me
I asked her why and she
had to think
She turned away and said that times really have changed
I
don't know why she looked the same

Oh, I ask why all her love I'll have
to lose today
Oh, I ask why all her time she'll spend to turn away from
me
Oh, I ask why
Why must you play this charade with me?

The girl
from the sandbox once wore a necklace that I had made
I don't know why she
forgot those days
She said from beneath her pearls that these were the real
things
I don't know why she looked so fake

The girl from laundry just
had waved back at me
I don't know why I forgot her name
She said from
beneath her clothes that times really have changed
I don't know why she's
bothering me
