I Wanna Know Why

Kickin' down the road

Feelin' mighty slowed

With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced

Never had a taste

Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch

Went from rags to riches

Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Try to make a fool outta of me

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Gotta make a fool

Gotta make a fool

Try to make a fool outta of me

Swing low

Sweet cherry o

When a strange love showed me the way

Ya see more

Can't keep a score

When the whore's comin' on for the play

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Gotta make a fool outta of me

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Gotta make a fool

Gotta make a fool

Try to make a fool outta of me

E. Poe

Eatin' crow

Wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad

Time passed

And words lost the last

Of the best thing he ever had

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Gotta make a fool outta of me

I wanna know why

Everybody's good intentions

Gotta make a fool

Gotta make a fool

Try to make a fool outta of me

Oh play rough

Can't get enough

So they try to make a fool out of me, lordy

Ain't foolin' me

Ya ain't ghoulin' me

Ain't foolin' me

Ya ain't ghoulin' me
