Don't Ask Me Why

[Verse 1]

All the waiters in your grand café

Leave their tables when you blink

Ohh, every dog must have his every day

Every drunk must have his drink

[Chorus]

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why

[Verse 2]

All your life you had to stand in line

Still you're standing on your feet

Ohh, all your choices made you change your mind

Now your calendar's complete

[Chorus]

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why

[Bridge]

Mmm, you can say the human heart

Is only make-believe

And I am only fighting fire with fire

But you are still a victim

Of the accidents you leave

As sure as I'm a victim of desire

[Verse 3]

All the servants in your new hotel

Throw their roses at your feet

Fool them all but baby I can tell

You're no stranger to the street

[Chorus]

Don't ask for favors

Don't talk to strangers

Don't ask me why

[Verse 4]

Yesterday you were an only child

Now your ghosts have gone away

You can kill them in the classic style

Now you, "Parlez-vous français ?"

[Chorus]

Don't look for answers

You took your chances

Don't ask me why

[Outro]

Don't ask me why
