Текст песни Why - Cliff Richard

Here we go
Another kick in the backside
You think the feeling ain't worldwide
Until they give it to you

Here we go
I must have read all the signs wrong
I should be singing a sweet song
Instead of feeling so sour

If they shake you by the hand
And wish you all the best in life
I could bet you when you turn
They'll get you with a velvet knife

Why?
Tell me why?
Should you burn the midnight candle
Why?
Waste your breath
You're gonna need it when you're old
They'll only find
Your ideas too hot to handle
Me oh, my, oh why?

Here we go
A lot of negative answers
Just when you're thinking your chances
About the best you'll ever get

I don't know
It must be due to the way of Mars
Is it affecting my good stars?
And disconnecting me again

If the heavens are against you
Then you're bound to only break your necks
It can't be good, now can it
In the planetary all perplex

Why?
Tell me why?
Should you burn the midnight candle
Why?
Waste your breath
You're gonna need it when you're old
They'll only find
Your ideas too hot to handle
Me oh, my, oh why?
