Why

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby

Whoa whoa whoa what did I do

Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me

Whoa whoa whoa why



Baby, don't turn away if I try to talk to you

Words don't come easy when there's nothing you can say that's new



You can crush my heart

by the tone of your voice

build up my hope

it's all in your choice

You can give me the look

That cuts me so small

Cancel me out

For no reason at all



Whoa whoa whoa why, baby

Whoa whoa whoa what did I do

Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me

Whoa whoa whoa why



Baby get on the phone

You're gonna come out tonight

You're gonna get new clothes

Girl, you're gonna dress up right

Can you see what's inside

When you make up your eyes

When you pull on your jeans

Do they curve around tight



Are you hinting at action

By just standing still

When he comes up to talk

Girl, then why do you kill



Whoa whoa whoa why, baby

Whoa whoa whoa what did he do

Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me

Whoa whoa whoa why did he do



Baby, don't turn away

If I try to talk to you

Words don't come easy

When there's nothing

You can say that's new



You can crush my heart

By the tone of your voice

Build up my hopes

It's all in your choice

You can give me the look

That cuts me so small

Freeze in my tracks

For no reason at all



Whoa whoa whoa why, baby

Whoa whoa whoa what did I do

Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me

Whoa whoa whoa what did I do

Whoa whoa whoa why

Whoa whoa whoa why

Whoa whoa whoa why

Whoa whoa whoa why
