Why Me — Irene Cara

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 my memories with you

You gave me nothing but misery I found so much more You used me oh so helplessly I 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 It'll give me what I'll call my own

You gave me nothing but misery And I gave so much more You used me oh so helplessly I don't want your sympathy

Why me (I tried to set you free) Why me (I love you helplessly) Why me when I was the one Who could set your heart free Ooooh, why me (You stole a part of me) Why me (You loved me sinfully) Why me You took from the love I gave up selfishly

Instrumental Interlude
