I can understand it
money`s what you`re working for
But I`m not a bandit and I don`t love war.
I can only find out what it takes to have a lot
I don`t have no more doubt
I`ll keep what I`ve got!
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
Tell me why
tell me why other times you`re down
Tell me why
tell me why
why some people are lucky
Tell me why
tell me why life goes up and down.
Why is it that one guy`s got everythin` going well
Why the other ones try
have to work like hell?
When your life is sunny
everybody`s on your side
When it isn`t funny
you have got to hide.
I don`t know where to go if I will get an answer
it`s such a mistery!
Anyway
who can say if I`ll be a romancer
go down in history.
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
. . .
I don`t even know yet how to make the world go round
To be rich or in debt
to get off the ground.
Don`t know the reason
I think I`ll never
never know it
Who could ever answer? Maybe I wirr never I
I don`t know where to go if I will get an answer
it`s such a mistery!
Anyway
who can say if I`ll be a romancer
go down in history.
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
. . .
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
