Never Know Why Lyrics

So many things that I don't understand

Why the sun comes up when the moon is still at hand

Never ever ever, ever gonna know why

It's ten past nine and the thirty eight is packed

Shouldn't these commuters all be up the back

Never ever ever, ever gonna know why

It's getting hard, stay in the game

It's getting easier to lie

I can't figure out when I say a prayer in faith

The old man don't answer I have to hide my face

I guess I'm never ever, ever gonna know why

Tell me why it is when you really like a girl

You open up your heart and she looks you up and down

And says 'Boy, boy, boy, you're never gonna get me'

It's getting hard, stay in the game

It's getting hard, find a new name

I thought love could conquer distance, maybe even time

I was wrong about em both, though love remains

It mocks me sometimes

Don't you know it,

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You're gonna see why

The best that I can do is never promise you

'Cause everything I've promised has always fallen through

You're never ever ever, ever gonna know why

Well, I am not a novelist but I can write a page

There's something to be said about the stories of today

It's getting hard to know who's who

And I don't know if I trust you

All of the important questions we ask

Seem to have no answer and forty two won't pass

The writer of the proverbs said there's nothing new

I think I'm gonna tell him, that I just spotted you

And now I'll never ever ever, ever need to know why
