rodgers and hart - why can't i? lyrics

Loading...

(verse)
[betty]
darling, don’t leave me
i’m so lonesome tonight
nothing is right
with me

[mary jane]
you can’t deceive me
what you need is romance
something in pants
said she

[betty]
you’re so clever
but i never
thought you ever
knew

[mary jane]
my maiden’s prayer
leaves me weak as a cat
for i am that
way too

(chorus 1)
[betty]
feeling the way i do
i’d like to say, “i do!”
heaving a heavenly sigh
everybody has someone
why can’t i?

creeping to bed alone
resting my head alone
only the pillow nearby
some have a reason for dreaming
why can’t i?

i feel forsaken
on nights like this
can’t i awaken
to someone’s kiss?

only my book in bed
knows how i look in bed
n-body hears when i cry
everybody has someone
why can’t i?

(chorus 2)
{mary jane]
feeling the way i do
i’d like to say, “i do!”
nature is hard to deny
everybody has someone
why can’t i?

if love brings merriment
i must experiment
with some electrical guy
even old maids find a burglar
why can’t i?

should girls be good girls?
i think they should
i need a good man
to make me be good

two feet are ever cold
four feet are never cold
i only mean to imply
everybody does something
why can’t i?
