Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – Why lyrics

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why

Baby, don't turn away if I try to talk to you
Words don't come easy when there's nothing you can say that's new

You can crush my heart
by the tone of your voice
build up my hope
it's all in your choice
You can give me the look
That cuts me so small
Cancel me out
For no reason at all

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why

Baby get on the phone
You're gonna come out tonight
You're gonna get new clothes
Girl, you're gonna dress up right
Can you see what's inside
When you make up your eyes
When you pull on your jeans
Do they curve around tight

Are you hinting at action
By just standing still
When he comes up to talk
Girl, then why do you kill

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did he do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why did he do

Baby, don't turn away
If I try to talk to you
Words don't come easy
When there's nothing
You can say that's new

You can crush my heart
By the tone of your voice
Build up my hopes
It's all in your choice
You can give me the look
That cuts me so small
Freeze in my tracks
For no reason at all

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
