Leon Redbone - Why lyrics

Why? won't you kindly tell me Why? you always leave me high and dry And give all the other boys attention, dear? You know I want you near me, hear me You'd be so awfully pleasing if you stopped your teasing If you do I'll be true Through and through Why are you so captivating? Why are you so aggravating? And for me must I keep on waiting patiently? You know there's lots of kissing, we're missing I'd like to hear you say the words that you once whispered Oh, why don't you tell me why? Why are you so captivating? Why are you so aggravating? And for me must I keep on waiting patiently? You know there's lots of kissing, we're missing You'd be so awfully pleasing if you stopped your teasing Oh, why don't you tell me why?
