(Intro)

(Instrumental)


(Verse 1)

Why is nothin’, like we expect it to be, when we arrive on the scene?

Why do I always, always baby, feel like I’m stuck somewhere in between?

Guess I gotta curb my expectations, and take, take what’s given to me.


(Verse 2)

Why do some people, always say black, when the world’s looking oh so white?

Why, oh why baby, do I spend my days in such a fight?

I guess I’ll just keep on a movin’, ah movin’ on towards that oh lonesome night.


(Instrumental)


(Verse 3)

Why can’t I let it go, and accept, accept the things the way they are?

Why, oh why honey, do I keep my feelin’s, all bottled up in a jar?

I guess maybe, I’m just like that baby, ya know, ya know we all follow a different star. Haaa!


(Instrumental)


(Verse 4)

Why do things, seem to happen to me, when I see y’all just walkin’ on free?

Oh maybe, oh maybe darlin’, I need, I need to sometimes take a knee.

Ya think I’m exaggeratin’, ha, you just don’t know what it’s like to be me. No!


(Reprise)

But why is nothin’, like we expect it to be, ah when we arrive on the scene? I don’t know!

Why do I always, always baby, ho, feel like I’m stuck somewhere in between?

Ya know I guess I gotta curb my expectations, and take, and take what’s given to me. Ha ha ha!
