Why Not Me?
Hey friend, can you lend an ear to my lengthy tale of woe?
My life has been a troubled one, it started long ago
(Oh yes, I think I've heard you say)
(Things never go your way)
I was ignored, lonely and bored when I was a youth
I never liked the other kids to tell the honest truth
(Oh so I hear)
(You struggled all those years)
My parents failed and dreams derailed in the next atrocity
When they couldn't pay my entire way through university
(Oh life is cruel)
(If only you had better schools)
Whoa, I can't take it anymore
I must be being punished but for what I'm not quite sure
Everybody else has it good from what I see
Why not me?
But let me tell you now about my no good, rotten spouse
He goes out every night and leaves me in this wretched house
(Oh what a sin)
(When did this all begin?)
We've been apart right from the start, he's never put me first
These things, they always happen to me, why am I so cursed?
(Oh what a shame)
(I guess your marriage was arranged?)
No, not at all
Just thought I could make him change
Whoa, I can't take it anymore
I must be being punished but for what I'm not quite sure
Everybody else has it good from what I see
Why not me?
But that's the past, the last of my worries at this point
The divorce is almost final but the custody is joint
(Oh that's too bad)
(I'm sure on weekends you'll be sad)
No in fact I want him packed to move in with his father
I rue the day that he was born, he's nothing but a bother
(I understand)
(Your pregnancy was never planned)
To tell the truth we tried and tried and tried for several years
It started to look hopeless, then one day he just appeared
(Oh I see)
(You always choose your misery)
Whoa, I can't take it anymore
I must be being punished but for what I'm not quite sure
Everybody else has it good from what I see
Why not me? Why not me?
My life has been a troubled one, it started long ago
