Mavis Staples - Why Lyrics
Why is the grass always greener over on the other side?And why does the sound of rain falling makes me feelLike I wanna cry?It never seems 2 get easier the more we tryI always find myself just askin' why (Why? Why? Why?)Why when there should be so much love do we just fussAnd fight?Oh wellAnd why can't there be more understanding just betweenU and I?Oh yesWhen someone's hurt in love and war, it's never fair... oh noMy head believes, but my heart can't understandI wanna know, I really gotta know if this is all thereIsThen I'll keep lovin'I'll keep asking why is there just so little time?(Why? Why?)I wonder why... oh yeah (Why? Why?)Somebody tell me (Why?)Oh, I gotta know (Why?)Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me (Why? Why?)When someone's hurt in love and war, it's never fair(Never fair)My head believes, but my heart can't understand... myHeart, my heartI wanna know, I really gotta know if this is all thereIsThen I'll keep lovin'I'll keep asking why is it just so little time? (Why?Why?)I wonder why... oh why (Why? Why?)Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me (Why? Why?)Somebody tell me why... oh help me Lord (Why? Why?)Tell me why (Why?) (Why?)Why can't we come 2gether? (Why?)Why can't we love one another? (Why?)I wanna knowWhy can't we love one another?Oh why?Songwriters: Paulette McWilliams, Danny Madden & Ivan Hampden
