Why Me
Question Mark The Mysterians Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Left me this morning thought I had you the rest of my life

Thought we had a good thing that would last a very long time

Why me? (Why me?)

Why me? (Why me?)

We had a very good thing girl

We had a very good thing girl

You better come on back

So we can have this good thing girl

Why me? (Why me?)

Why me? (Why me?)

We had this very good thing girl

We had this very good thing girl

You better come on back

So we can have this good thing girl

Left me this morning thought I had you the rest of my life now

Thought we had a good thing that would last a very long time

Why me? (Why me?)

Why me? (Why me?)

We had a very good thing girl, that's right

We had a very good thing girl
