Why

You keep sayin' no to her

Since she was a baby

You keep sayin' no to her

Not even maybe

Why?

Why?

You say there's a limit there

She can't go past that

She don't believe you

She don't think that's where it's at

Why?

Why?

You say she can't change that

It's the way you've always done it

She don't care about that

She thinks you've just begun it

Why?

Why?

You say it's a dead old world

Cold and unforgiving

I don't know where you live

But you're not living

Why?

Why?

You keep sayin' no to her

Since she was a baby

You keep sayin' no to her

Not even maybe

Why?
