Why? Songtext
von Hoodoo Gurus

I′m drinking "Mother's Ruin"
And grooving-out to ′You Am I'
"Well, Hi!"
I'm cornered and I′m hoping
For once your mouth ain′t open wide
Oh, My! My! My! My!

Tell me why
You can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why
You always have to lie?


What is that strange aroma
That tells me you′re not bona-fide?
Oh, why, why, why, why?
It's always necessary
To get you′re stories verified.
Oh why... why, why, why?

Tell me why you can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why, ′cos it's pointless to deny!

Please tell me why?
So help me,

Your friends are getting fewer.
Have you considered suicide? (You might try)
Your cookie has to crumble
And you'll be eating humble pie in the sky by-and-by.

Tell me why you can′t look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why Œcos it′s pointless to deny!
Tell me why you don't just curl up and die?

Tell me why?
