Why Why Why (Is It So Hard) Songtext
von Paul Revere and the Raiders

Once I stood close to a girl that I knew
For many a beautiful day
Trying to tell her our love wasn′t right
In a kind and most gentle way

Why do the words in my head never seem quite the same
When I speak them and say, "Hey,
Sorry, young girl, but we're through
Sorry, and please don′t feel blue"

Then as the tears from her eyes begin falling
I ask myself, "What did I do?"

Oh, why, why, why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
Why is it so hard to break love apart? (Why, why, why?)

Now that I stand far away from that girl
I realize the wrong that I've done
Hurting a girl that has loved me so true
Beside me in sorrow and fun


My life has changed, I'm no good for that girl
I′ll leave or I′ll soon have a son, oh, me
Sorry, young girl, I must go
My life belongs on the road

Night is between us so barely I see her
Still, she keeps crying, "Don't go"

Oh, why, why, why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
Why is it so hard to break love apart? (Why, why, why?)

(Why, why, why?) Why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?) Why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
Why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
Why is it so hard? (Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
(Why, why, why?)
