You act like you don't know me
When you see me on the street
You're makin' like I turn you off
When I know you think I'm sweet
You don't have to be like that
I guess you're insecure
If you say what's on your mind
I might answer 'Sure'
So I walk a little slower
And I try to catch your eye
Sometimes, it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
NO flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right
[CHORUS:]
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a life
So... why not
Why not
(Why not take a crazy chance? Why not take a crazy chance?)
You always, dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Let's just get into your car
And go, baby, go
So...
[CHORUS]
Oh... oh
I could be the one
for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes,
maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never get to heaven or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way
Why not, (why not?)
Take a star from the sky
Why not, (why not?)
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
