Billy Joel
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
