Why Lyrics & Chords By Irene Cara

Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
'Til you made me out for a fool
Left with nothing to do
Can't forget about you
With my heart in my hands
Pack my bags
Leave my memories with you
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me
Why me
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Why me
Why me
Why me
You took all the love
I gave up selfishly
Why me
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong
Now I know what it takes
Can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
It'll give me what I'll call my own
You gave me nothing but misery
And I gave so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me
(I tried to set you free)
Why me
(I love you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Ooooh, why me
(You stole a part of me)
Why me
(You loved me sinfully)
Why me
You took from the love
I gave up selfishly
[Instrumental Interlude]
Why me
(I tried to set you free)
Why me
(I loved you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Ooh-ho, why me
(I loved you totally)
Why me
(Why me, why me, why me)
Oh, why me
(Who loved you totally)
Why me
(Why me, why me, why me)
Why me, ooooh-oh
Keep your sympathy
Why me
(I love a symphony)
(I love you totally)
I love you totally
I love you totally
Why me
(I love a symphony)
Why me
(I loved you totally)
Why me
