Why Not Me?

Flippin' through the pages of a magazine
Pages filled with fantasies
Happy faces without a care
Happy faces she couldn't bare

She said to herself, "Why not me?"
Why not me she said
"Don't I deserve what they all have?"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"

The stores were closed as she looked inside
Through the windows at the merchandise
The kind of places where your dreams come true
The kind of places where you take your cue

She said to herself, "Why not me?"
Why not me she said
"All I want is what they all have"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"

Painting nails and painting walls
Pictures hung in the halls
Climbing stairs, going nowhere
Too afraid to fall

Looking for a hand to hold her tight
A warm embrace through the night
Wanting to be wanted she opened her heart
Hoping to find a new start

She said to herself, "Why not me?"
Why not me she said
"Don't I deserve a soul to care for?"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"

The days passed and the weeks would too
Her heart closing all the while
Left alone with her vanishing hopes
Wondering how she'd cope

She said to herself, "Why not me?"
Why not me she said
"All I want is a soul to care for"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"

Painting nails and painting walls
Pictures hung in the hall
Climbing stairs, going nowhere
Too afraid to fall

Flippin' through the pages of a magazine
Pages filled with fantasies
Happy faces without a care
Happy faces she couldn't bare

She said to herself, "Why not me?"
Why not me she said
"All I want is what they all have"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"
"Why not me?"
