Lyrics

Why Is It Always This Way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive

She was waving, waving, waving bye-bye

She was contemplating suicide

Now she's lying in a bottle of formaldehyde

And oh, I just don't know

Why I can't let her go

Oh, I just don't know

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive

She was going to the wash and dry

She was outside, outside hitching a ride

Now she's lying in a bottle of formaldehyde

And oh, I just don't know

Why I can't let her go

Oh, I just don't know

Hеy, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hеy, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey

Why is it always this way?

Hey, hey, hey...
