1. Why...
Why did you go wasting your time on me
You're so beautiful now
There's so much that's left for you now
O, yeah, babe

And why...
Why did you go flashing those eyes at me
You know that I am eager to please
I've always been eager to please
O, yeah, babe

X: Well I, I've got a lot to say
And I am scared, that you're gonna slip away
And you, you've got this white-eyed gaze
And a smile, that you carry through your days

R: O, Why-y-y,
O, Why-y-y-y
It's the easiest way,
To know you're a liar
And the beauty you heard
I see you talking with her hands
Well I don't think she knows
How she changed all my plans

2. And why
Why did you go wasting your youth on me
You're so beautiful now
There's so much that's left for you now
Oh, yeah, babe

And why
We look at the faces on your bedroom wall.
Well, nobody's perfect at all.
Sometimes it makes you feel small.
Oh, yeah, babe

X: Well I, I've got a lot to say...

R: O, Why-y-y...

*: The things that I thought would last
Well, they're fading, they're fading
The feelings, I used to have
Well, they're changing, they're changing

The things that I thought would last
Well, they're fading, they're fading
The feelings, I used to have
Well, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing now.
Well, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing now.
