Lyrics Why Was I Born? - Billie Holiday

Why was I born?
Why am I livin'?
What do I get?
What am I givin'?

Why do I want for things
I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for?
I wish I knew

Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Oh baby, why was I born to love you?
