Irene Cara
Why Me?
[Verse 1]
Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
'Til you made me out for a fool

[Verse 2]
Left with nothing to do
Can't forget about you
With my heart in my hands
Pack my bags
Leave the memories with you

[Pre-Chorus]
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy

[Chorus]
Why me? (I tried to set you free)
Why me? (I loved you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free?

Why me? (You stole a part of me)
Why me? (You loved me sinfully)
Why me? You took all the love I gave up selfishly
Why me?
[Verse 3]
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong

[Verse 4]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you gave me nothing but misery
And I gave so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy

[Chorus]
Why me? (I tried to set you free)
Why me? (I loved you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free?

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Why me? (I tried to set you free)
Why me? (I loved you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free?

Oh-oh, why me? (I loved you sinfully)
Why me? (I loved you totally)
Why me? (Why me, why me, why me?)
Oh, why me? (I loved you sinfully)

Why me? (I loved you sinfully)
Why me? (I loved you totally)
Why me? (Why me, why me, why me?)
Why me? Oh, keep your sympathy

[Outro]
Why me? (I loved you sinfully)
(I loved you totally) I love you totally
(Why me, why me, why me?) I love you totally
(I loved you sinfully) Why me?
(I loved you sinfully) Why me?
(I loved you totally) Why me?
(Why me, why me, why me?)
(I loved you sinfully)
