I saw you one day at the Masquerade
At a show for a band but I never caught your name
You had a little blue skirt, a star on your shirt
Those eyes, oh my, I never had to say a word
I fell for you, I failed to move
I was dumbstruck solid like my feet were glued
You took your leave, you turned to wink
And every night since I cry myself to sleep
Why?!!!
Why didn't I try?!!!
I just stared and gazed as you walked away
And I know I'll never know you felt the same that day
Never, is forever!
Why?!!!
It was a rainy afternoon the 11th of June
I was late for a date with a girl named Sue
I stopped for a Coke, and what do you know,
I see your little green Beetle at the Texaco
Well, I check your ride, then I went inside
From the back to the front I checked every aisle
I should have known, you were on the phone
By the time I got outside, your bug was gone
I can't believe... I can't seem... I can't take any more!!!!
Why?!!!
Why didn't I try?!!!
I just stared and gazed as you walked away
And now I know I'll never know you felt the same that day
Never, is forever!
Why?!!!
This whole thing seems like such a tease
I feel I am chasing the girl of my dreams
I've come so close to finally knowing your name
But I turn around and you're gone again!!
I can't remain just playing these games
Cause I fighting just to breathe
and hold myself at the seams
And I never wanna fall for any other girl again
Cause these words are for you
They come from heart to the pen
Now I'm asking while crashing
Through the regret of my lacking
To have the courage to ask
But my courage won't back me
When I look into those eyes
And see the surprise
I never wanna blink
I just want you to be mine
Here we are again
You've come to see my band
And there's no way I'm screwing up again...
I just stopped this song to talk to you alone
And I know after the show we're gonna get it on
Why?!!!
Why didn't I try?!!!
Why?!!!
Why didn't I try?!!!
I just stopped this song to talk to you alone
And I know after the show we're gonna get it on
Oh Misty? or Susan? or Tara? or Mrs. Stewart?
Was her name.
