Why
US5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was chillin' with her best friend
At the far end, I was working late
Suddenly I had a feeling, I was dreaming
When I saw her pretty smile and
That girl's got everything turnin'
My world will be never the same and
I got to make her mine, all I need is just some time
Cause' the feeling's right
Look into her eyes
She is more than I'll ever find
Tell me how to make this story turn to life, to life

Why, did I ever pass her by
Did she even walk into my life
Make me lose my mind, my baby
Why, do we have to say goodbye
Everytime she leaves it makes me cry
Why, can't she be mine, my baby

Every night I think about her
And where we were, when I saw her face
What I'd give to have her here now
Gotta somehow show her that I really care, yeah
My friends been buggin' me lately
They say I'm a bit of a dreamer
But I don't mind at all, cause' the writing's on the wall

Baby I don't understand why got me feelin' this way
Never felt saomething so real in my life
Baby now I'm praying for you to hear my call




Girl I can't deny, what I feel inside
Stay forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to US5's song "Why" are about a man who has developed strong feelings for a woman he saw at work, but never acted on those feelings. He regrets not pursuing her earlier, and now wishes to make her his own. He is enamored by her every move, and is willing to do what it takes to have her in his life.


The song has a romantic and hopeful tone, with the main character believing that the woman is the missing piece in his life. He is pessimistic about their chances, as if he feels that he does not deserve her, but he is not going to let that stop him from doing all he can to try and win her over. The lyrics tell a story of missed opportunities and unrequited love, but also of hope, persistence, and a desire to find true love.

Chyba jedna z przyjemniejszych ale zachodzi pytanie, po co Jay tak wyje? Niszczy tym każdą piosenkę, a szczerze mówiąc najlepszego głosu to on nie ma. Izzy powinien być zdecydowanie częściej dopuszczany do mikrofonu. No i Vincuś... największa porażka tego zespołu ech
