I can understand it
money's what you're working for
But I'm not a bandit and I don't love war.
I can only find out what it takes to have a lot
I don't have no more doubt
I'll keep what I've got!
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
Tell me why
tell me why other times you're down
Tell me why
tell me why
why some people are lucky
Tell me why
tell me why life goes up and down.
Why is it that one guy's got everythin' going well
Why the other ones try
have to work like hell?
When your life is sunny
everybody's on your side
When it isn't funny
you have got to hide.
I don't know where to go if I will get an answer
it's such a mistery!
Anyway
who can say if I'll be a romancer
go down in history.
Tell me why
tell me why
if sometimes you are happy
. . .
I don't even know yet how to make the world go round
To be rich or in debt
to get off the ground.
Don't know the reason
I think I'll never
never know it
Who could ever answer? Maybe I wirr never I
