Aimee Mann - Why Must I

Why must I take it so hard

there's no light in the tunnel

or dog in the yard

It's my fault for wanting too much

going deeper than most

getting harder to touch

I've known days when I'd

wake up and say,

`The world can get along just fine.'

So why must I take it so hard this time.

Why must I take it so hard -
other people get by
with either bourbon or God.
But my world became this one boy
it's the way that I'm made -
do you think I enjoy it?
*** Chorus:
I've known days when I'd
wake up and say, `Just live and let it all go by...'
So why must I take it so hard this time.
I´ve known days when I'd wake up and say,
Be careful of the love you find
*** Coda:
Be careful of the love you find. Oh, be careful.
