Artist/Band: Lyle Lovett
Lyrics for Song: Why I Don't Know
Lyrics for Album: Anthology, Vol. 1: Cowboy Man [MCA] [2001]



Was it the champagne, was it the caviar

Was it her airplane, was it her daddy's car

Was it the new thing with all the dough

Why I don't know I just had to go.



Was that the yacht club or just a fishing boat

Was that the leg of lamb or was it a billy goat

Was that a snail baby, or escargot

Why I don't know I just had to go.



I'm just a poor boy I like to have fun

I know a pretty girl when I see one

I've seen the real thing, the imitation too

So don't go telling me what to do.



Was that a beer joint or was that the country club

Were we fooling around or was it truly love

Was that a foreign film or just a show

Why I don't know I just had to go.



I'm just a poor boy I like to have fun

I know a pretty girl when I seen one

I've seen the real thing, the imitation too

So don't go telling me what to do.



So keep your champagne and keep your caviar

And fly your airplane into your daddy's car

And so you'll understand I'll tell you slow

Why I don't know I just had to go...
