(Charlie Rich)

 

Why, oh why, must I sit and cry

That's not the sorta thing I like to do

Why, oh why did we say goodbye

When I know I'm still in love with you.



Why, oh why am I still pretending

You'll come back to me

When in my heart I know

That happy ending can never be.



And though I try to get you off my mind

I found there's not a easy thing to do

'Cause when I try to get you off my mind

How your love what it did good tryin' to.



Why, oh why am I still pretending

All alone, yes, all alone

I guess it should become I know

I'll never have you for my own...
