Why Songtext
von Lily Allen

Why aren′t I one of these interesting people who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive and to never have wasted a day
To go for long walks, have well-informed talks in a non-confrontational way
Why aren′t I one of these interesting people, and why won't you stay?

I'm still having the same conversation I′ve been having for years (for years)
I just want to read and retain information, just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it′s so plain to see, all I need is to change (change)
Not too much, I still want to be me, everyone looks the same


Why is my phone full of so many numbers, and why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I′m always too busy, or maybe I've no friends at all
When I′m watching TV they're all out necking E′s and well obviously, I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers, and why don't you call?

I′m still having the same conversation I′ve been having for years (for years)
I just want to read and retain information, just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see, all I need is to change (change)
Not too much, I still want to be me, everyone looks the same

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I′m still having the same conversation I've been having for years (for years)
I just want to read and retain information, just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it′s so plain to see, all I need is to change (change)
Not too much, I still want to be me, everyone looks the same
