Why I Dont Know — текст песни (Lyle Lovett)

Was it the champagne

Was it the caviar

Was it her airplane

Was it her daddys car

Was it the new thing

With all the dough

Why I dont know

I just had to go



Was that the yacht club

Or just a fishing boat

Was that the leg of lamb

Or was it a billy goat

Was that a snail baby

Or escargot

Why I dont know

I just had to go



Im just a poor boy

I like to have fun

I know a pretty girl when I see one

Ive seen the real thing

The imitation too

So dont go telling me what to do



Was that a beer joint

Or was that the country club

Were we fooling around

Or was it truly love

Was that a foreign film

Or just a show

Why I dont know

I just had to go



Im just a poor boy

I like to have fun

I know a pretty girl when I seen one

Ive seen the real thing

The imitation too

So dont go telling me what to do



So keep your champagne

And keep your caviar

And fly your airplane

Into your daddys car

And so youll understand

Ill tell you slow

Why I dont know

I just had to...go
