I Wanna Know Why

kickin' down the road

feelin' mighty slowed

with the likes of you



gettin' mighty spaced

never had a taste

of what you're goin' through



I can't bitch

went from rags to riches

then to ragtime screamin' the blues



Chorus:

I wanna know why

everybody's good intention

try to make a fool outta me

I wanna know why

everybody's good intention

gotta make a fool

gotta make a fool

try to make a fool outta me



swing low

sweet cherry o

when a strange love showed me the way

ya see more

can't keep a score

when the whore's comin' on for the play



Chorus

E. Poe

eatin crow

wonder if he knowed that

raven was mad



time passed

and words lost the last

of the best thing he ever had



Chorus

oh play rough

can't get enough

so they try to make a fool outta me



lordy

ain't foolin' me

ya ain't ghoulin' me

ain't foolin' me

ya ain't ghoulin' me
