[Verse 1]
I've traveled down this road before
It seems this time that I'm not sure
Should I even try again?
Try to believe that there's someone there for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now that I'm alone
My heart needs to know

[Chorus]
Why not me (Why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself (Myself)
To be who I was meant to be (Ooh)
Why not me (Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (To find that dream)
Why not me
I wanna know
Can you tell me
Why not me

[Verse 2]
Could I be right? Could I be wrong?
To feel this way for so long (For so long)
Don't wanna give up who I am
A couple lies just to please a man
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so confused
I'm telling you
Don't wanna sing the blues

[Chorus]
Why not me (Why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself (Myself)
To be who I was meant to be (Ooh)
Why not me (Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (To find that dream)
Why not me

[Bridge]
I need a man whose got his own
Someone who's sensitive and strong
Tell me will I have to wait
Will tomorrow be too late

[Chorus]
Why not me (Why not me)
I wanna know, I need to know
Is it a crime to be myself (Myself)
To be who I was meant to be (Ooh)
Why not me (Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (To find that dream)
Why not me
[Outro]
I wanna know, I need to know (Why not me)
Can you tell me why
Everybody needs someone who will be there for them
(Why not me)
Yes, they do
They really do
They really need someone
Someone made for them
(Why not me)
I need someone to be there for me
Don't you know I really need
I need to believe that there's someone (Why not me)
I need a man who's got his own
I need him strong (Why not me)
I need him now
Whoa, yes, I do, I really do
I wanna know, I really need him, yes I do (Why not me)
Ooh...
