Why Me Lyrics

Written by Dennis DeYoung

Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

I guess we used to be the lucky ones

Good fortune smiled on everyone

Stop

A voice said you best beware

Stop

Bad luck is everywhere

And sure enough the voice was right

My luck changed overnight

Stop

Please tell me what went wrong

Stop

I can't take these ups and downs

Hard times come, hard times go

And in between you hope and pray

The scars don't show

'Cause life is strange and so unsure

The days you hardly make it through

You swear that there's a curse on you

'Cause nothing seems to fit

And things won't go your way

You know you've had enough

You've got the right to say

Why me, why me

Rubelator

Stop

Here comes anxiety

Stop

Won't you please let me be, I need relief

Hard times come, hard times go

In between you hope and pray

The scars don't show

'Cause life is strange and so unsure

The days you hardly make it through

You're sure that there is a curse on you

If nothing seems to fit

And things won't go your way

You know you've had enough

You can't take another day

Where to go and what to do

You've got those bills to pay

You're really not alone you know

'Cause everybody says,

Why me

Why me

"Why me? That's what I want to know. You know what I mean? Huh. I don't know."
