Why, Oh Why

(Charlie Rich)

Why, oh why, must I sit and cry
That's not the sorta thing I like to do
Why, oh why did we say goodbye
When I know I'm still in love with you.

Why, oh why am I still pretending
You'll come back to me
When in my heart I know
That happy ending can never be.

And though I try to get you off my mind
I found there's not a easy thing to do
'Cause when I try to get you off my mind
How your love what it did good tryin' to.

Why, oh why am I still pretending
All alone, yes, all alone
I guess it should become I know
I'll never have you for my own...
