Why , why, why do I have to cry? Ours not to reason why, I know It's just to do and die, I know But even so it seems that the world Has passed me over Same sort of thing with the birds in this town I pick 'em up, they put me down Still, you can't complain (much! ) If I had a fancy car, Mercedes or a Jaguar, I'd thrill 'em! Why , why, why do I have to cry? Ours not to reason why, I know It's just to do and die, I know But even so it seems that the world Has passed me over You should see how the women treat me Perhaps I should have the guts to see I'm a failure (A teenage failure!) If you cheat on me again, I'l hire a detective And then I'll have him trail ya! Why , why, why do I have to cry? Ours not to reason why, I know It's just to do and die, I know But even so it seems that the world Has passed me over Now this ain't a very fine song But lucky for you, it ain't too long (Sit still or I'll smash your face in!) If I had an expensive guitar I'd write great songs and I'd go far (maybe) Why , why, why do I have to cry? Ours not to reason why, I know It's just to do and die, I know But even so it seems that the world Has passed me over
