Why Does She Love Me - Andrew Lloyd Webber

作词：Glenn Slater

作曲：Andrew Lloyd Webber

She looks for sympathy

I give her sorrow

She asks for honesty

I've none to borrow

She needs my tender kiss

She begs it off me

I give her ugliness

Why does she love me

She yearns for higher things

Things I can't give her

The rush that music brings

I can't deliver

And even when she sings

And soars above me

I try to clip her wings

Why does she love me

One more drink sir

That's what I need

don't you think sir

Leave the hurt behind

Do you hear me

Another drink

She wants the man I was

Husband and father

At least she thinks she does

She needn't bother

Beneath this mask I wear

THere's nothing of me

Just horror shame despair

Why does she love me

How bout you sir

Tell me what am I to do sir

Leave the hurt behind

Morning Bernie coffee please

Hurry up before I freeze

This town is coarse and cold and mean

It's hard to keep your conscience clean

Faceless in the crowd

Anything's allowed

And so I come at dawn each day

Come to wash it all away

Sink into the sea blue and cool and kind

Let it set me free let the past unwind

Leave the hurt behind

Sail across the sea

Put us out of mind

Close your eyes and flee

Let yourself stay blind

Leave this place behind
