lyrics

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?

I’M NOT A REAL DEEP THINKER,
DON’T DO MUCH ANAYLYZING,
BUT WHEN I SEE YOU OUT WITH HIM,
I START PHILOSOPHIZING:

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY? CAN ANYBODY TRULY SAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?

DON’T CARE MUCH FOR RELIGION
OR ALL THE THINGS IT’S SAYING,
BUT WHEN I SEE YOU OUT WITH HIM,
I’M ON MY KNEES, I’M PRAYING…

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY? CAN ANYBODY TRULY SAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?


I DON’T KNOW WHY THERE’ S HATE OR HUNGER, SICKNESSES OR WAR,
BUT, HEY, IT’S NEVER MEANT THAT MUCH TO ME
BUT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU TOGETHER WITH THAT GUY
I ASK MYSELF “WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE?”

I NEVER STOP TO QUESTION
THE PAIN THE WORLD LIVES UNDER
BUT WHEN I SEE YOU OUT WITH HIM
I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER:

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?
OH, WHY?
