Why?

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A country song about a girl who wants a guy, but the guy is dating another girl. The girl keeps breaking it off with the guy and he’s torn, but then once she finally thinks he’s free of her chains, he comes running back when she takes him back. Will he learn? Will the girl that’s writing the lyrics ever get the guy?... ... we shall see...

(Verse 1) 
 
You’re on the bench, 
Daydreaming ‘bout your girlfriend. 
I can’t imagine all the times, 
She declared an end. 
And she doesn’t know how special you are. 
 
I’m sitting here, 
Just thinking ‘bout yesterday. 
I want a true exact reason, 
Why you turned away. 
She’s not worth the tears you cried inside your car. 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
Break up, break up, 
You keep coming back. 
I don’t understand, 
It’s insanity that I lack. 
 
I just want a date, 
Then she takes you away. 
And then she steals your heart, 
And dries you in the clay. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Can’t you see that what she’s doing ain’t healthy, 
She does not own you. 
But you believe her lies. 
Why? 
 
I’m sitting down in my mama’s front porch swing, 
Watching you and her. 
Soon you’ll realize, 
Why, 
You don’t deserve this. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
I’m walking down the street, see you everywhere, 
But then I physically see you over there. 
Holding her, kissing her right in front of me. 
I cannot breathe. 
 
Then she shuts you down and breaks up with you again, 
She met another guy so this just has to end. 
I call you up and say I’m right here, friend. 
I know you’re upset, yeah, you can’t pretend. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Wants you back now, 
That man’s a cow. 
Stop pretending, you should know by now, 
That the plaid skirt, 
And schoolgirl shirt, 
I wore to class, 
Just wore it for your ass. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Can’t you see that what she’s doing ain’t healthy, 
She does not own you.
