Why Did It Have to Be Me
Lyrics
The first day we met, it was love at first sight
You were my thoughts everyday and dreams every night
This was it and I knew it 'cause it felt so strong
In my heart and my soul that this love would be life long
But you were fine and I was too blind
to see all the games that you played with my mind
All the agony...baby can't you see
(How could you do this to me?)
I asked you time and time was there someone else
You always said no, thinking of yourself
Not that I'd be hurt or torn apart
Didn't make a difference if you broke my heart in two
'Cause you knew how much I love you
Everything you say, everything you do
I could go on and on and on like a chant
But to forgive you I just can't
I called a friend so I wouldn't be by myself
It didn't work because you couldn't help
I'm crying and I'm weep 'cause I felt so weak
Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, so I walked the streets
Just to think you were the man that I wanted to marry
To share my life with children I carry
But you chose to love and leave, I see
But why did it have to be me?
[Chorus]
Why did it have to be me?
Please tell me why?
Why did it have to be me?
Tell me, Tell me, tell me
You know it used to be great, just you and me
You'd take my hand and we'd walk down by the sea
I remember when you asked me to be yours I said yes
Because without a doubt, I knew I had the best
You bought gold and diamonds, and furs
A car, a house with towels marked his and hers
You'd hold me so tightly that I'd wanna pop
But then I'd whisper in your ear, don't stop
Things started changing, what did I do wrong
To have you pouring out my heart into this song
You'd leave in the evening, return in the morning
Say that you're tired, but you're not even yawning
You smell real good, but it's not your cologne
It's the scent of a perfume that I don't own
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
But why did it have to me?
[Chorus]
Please tell me why, why did it have to be me
Please tell me why,
Tell me, tell me (uhhh...hhh)
(repeat twice)
[Talking]
You know, one thing you'll learn is true
What you do to others will turn around and be done to you
It's the way The Almighty made it, you see
Those who give pain will receive it eventually
'Cause love it sacred, love is loving, love is love
It can't be replaced with anything you can think
But one day it's gonna happen to you
The girl that you loved, she won't love you
Then you'll see how it feels when you can't eat meals
And you find out the heartaches are for real
Then you'll think about me
Just think about me
But don't call me
Becausew you'll be looking in the mirror and asking yourself
Why did it have to be me?
Why me? Why me?
