Lyrics of

Why Me
performed by

Irene Cara


From "What A Feeling" 1983




Why Me

Life felt so right, I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune 'til you made me out for a fool.
Left with nothing to do can't forget about you
With my heart in my hands, pack my bags, leave the memories with you.
You gave me nothing but misery, I found so much more,
You used me, oh, so helplessly, don't want your sympathy,
Why me? Why me? Why me, when I was the one
Who could set your heart free?
Why me? Why me? Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly. - Why me?
Trapped in your space, never thought I could face
Going one step beyond when I knew deep inside I was strong.
Now I know what it takes, can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along, I'll give me what I'll call my own.
You gave me nothing but misery, I found so much more,...
Why me? Why me? Why me, when I was the one
Who could set your heart free? Why me'? Why me? Why me?...
