[Verse 1]

No please, please don't, don't keep asking, asking why
Some things are beyond explaining
And it's no use to try
Sure I know you want the reasons
Why your world should seem so queer
Why your little world should be so filled
With so much fright and fear
Sure I know you want to ask me
Why must children suffer such pain
Well when it comes to such things
That's not easy to explain

[Chorus]

It's no good to try
It's no good to lie
Many questions have no answers
I just can't tell you why

[Verse 2]

No please, no please, please don't think that I don't care
My heart gropes around for answer
But I find them nowherе
Yes, of course I know your problems
Oh thе doubts that torture your mind
For I know that my own child would dance
I'm not so far behind
Yes, I ask the same sad questions
At an age we all must go through
But now though I am older
I am still no help to you
[Chorus]
