Текст песни Why Do You Torture Me? - Marc Gunn

Why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you request a song that I can't sing?
Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh why do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?

Believe me when I say that I am happy you like this song
It makes me smile when you light up at the chance to sing along
The problem is I read the lyrics in the studio as I recorded it
Like now
I haven't played the song since then
Never thought that you'd look forward to it

Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you request a song that I can't sing?
Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh why do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?

You ask me for a Christmas song in the middle of July
What's wrong with you? Why that song?
Do you want to make a grown man cry?
Don't get me wrong. I'm proud I wrote it. But that was my old band
Good satire sure, but it's not a great song.
You're the only one to make that demand

Oh why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you request a song that I can't sing?
Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?

I'm pretty sure I know most of the lyrics to your fine song request
But as I sing, I forget the punchline my eyes dart around in distress
If I gonna screw up the words to a song at least let it be great
Cuz chances are
I played it enough that it least I'll make it out the gate

Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you request a song that I can't sing?
Oh, why do you torture me?
Oh, why do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?
Oh why?
