Why Not
The Cool Notes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel alone'
Lost inside my own time zone.
You know it's not so nice to be alone.
Especially when
I'm so far from home. (So far from home)
When I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Lovers walking hand in hand
Day by day
Why not?
(Can't you pleade for me)
Why not?
Why not?
(I'm lonely, can't you see?)
Oh why not?
I promise you
I will bring you no pain
and I won't treat your love in vain.
See I need someone like you
No longer will my days be blue
As I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Lovers walking hand in hand
Day by day
Why not?
(Can't you pleade for me)
Aah ah
Why not?
Why not?
(I'm lonely, can't you see?)
Oh why not?
Why not?
(Can't you pleade for me)
Why not?
Oooh why not?
(I'm lonely can't you see)
Oh why not?
As I look around me
I can see the children as they play
Lovers walking hand by hand
Day by day
Why not?
(Can't you pleade for me)
Uh ooh ooh
Why not?
Ooh why not? (I'm lonely can't you see)
Can't see (oh why not)
I need you boy
I needed somebody, baby
(Can't you plead for me)
Ooh yeah




Baby
I needed somebody
