One shinin' bright
The other hung the moon
Just like night and day
One must leave the room
Oh why, tell me why
First, second, third
Sounds just like a lover
Home went way out left field
Left his base uncovered
Oh why, tell me why
Newton found his theory
Lyin' underneath a tree
But, long before that
Ly Mr. Adam, Ms. Eve
Oh, why
Why, Why, Why
Why you wanna make me cry
Why, you wanna make me do those things I do
Makin' a fool of myself over you
Oh why, tell me why
I wasn't born yesterday
I know where I was the day before
Sittin' on a plane
I was knocking at her door
And why, I'll tell you why
I was there for only what was mine
And that's sixteen years of my precious time
And, that there, I don't take too lightly
Come on home, Darlin', let's go quietly
