Why
Cats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He came back and I know love is blind
I hoped she would love me in the end
Though I knew she liked me like a friend
Look at me, look at my face when I'm saying
That I need you
And when I tell you that I'm staying
Why, why don't you hear me?
Where, where are the good times we had?
Why, why do you love him?
Why, why do you need him so bad?
Now I'm back I realise
That you're the finest love I've ever had
There's no need to sigh, no need to cry
There's no need to scream another why
Even that won't reach her little ears
'Cause she's deaf and blind when he appears
Look at me, look at my face when I'm saying
That I need you
And when I tell you that I'm staying
Then you know it's true
Why, why don't you hear me?
Where, where are the good times we had?
Why, why do you love him?
Why, why do you need him so bad?
Now I'm back I realise
That you're the finest love I've ever had
Why, why don't you hear me?
Where, where are the good times we had?
Why, why do you love him?
Why, why do you need him so bad?
Why, why don't you hear me?
In "Why," the feline protagonist laments lost love and his unrequited affections for a female cat who prefers someone else. He recognizes that love can be blind and his hopes for her reciprocation were dashed when she only regarded him as a friend. Despite returning to her and realizing that she was the best love he had ever experienced, he remains heartbroken and confused by her apparent inability to see the depth of his feelings for her. An added layer of complexity arises when the woman's love interest returns and she becomes deaf and blind to anything else, causing the singer to question why she can't hear or understand his pleas. Overall, the song expresses the pain of unfulfilled love and the frustration that comes when one's emotions are disregarded.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a kind of sadness in my mind
I'm feeling really sad and it's overwhelming me
He came back and I know love is blind
The person I love came back, but I'm aware that love can make people overlook a lot of flaws
I hoped she would love me in the end
I was hoping that she would eventually see me as more than just a friend
Though I knew she liked me like a friend
Deep down, I knew she only saw me as a friend
Why, why don't you hear me?
I don't understand why you can't hear how much I need you
Where, where are the good times we had?
I miss the good times we had together and I don't know where they went
Why, why do you love him?
I can't comprehend why you love him over me
Why, why do you need him so bad?
I don't understand why you're so attached to him
Now I'm back I realize that you're the finest love I've ever had
Now that I'm back, I've realized that you're the best partner I've ever had
There's no need to sigh, no need to cry
There's no point in getting upset anymore
There's no need to scream another why
Asking why won't change anything and won't make her understand my perspective
Even that won't reach her little ears
Even if I did scream 'why', she probably wouldn't hear it
'Cause she's deaf and blind when he appears
She's so in love with him that she can't see or hear anything else when he's around

Tip Same band The Cats:
1- Scarlet Ribbons
2- Leah
the latter of which has an inyense story behind it. If you listen to Leah with the story in the back of your mind, I’d wonder if you can keep it dry.
