I wonder why I get burned
Every time that my back is turned
I didn't want to be alone
But everyone is on their own
All alone, anyway
(I wonder why)
It's gotta be that way
I wonder why
I've been waiting a year for you
Every day I think of you
After counting on you for so long
It would badly hurt if I was wrong
You were gone, anyway
(I wonder why)
I would think such thoughts
I wonder why
If you've got something to tell me
Say it
I don't like surprises
So if you've got a new game play it
Play it
I always wanted every girl I could get
Maybe that's why I feel so upset
The only time I gave my everything
I wound up like this, on a string, just waiting for a few lines
(I wonder why)
It's got to be that way
I wonder why
