Caroline Polachek
Why
[Verse 1]
He wakes up at half eleven
Mad at women he’s not gettin'
Checkin' out on his reflection
Tell me, son, now are you winnin'?

[Verse 2]
In the line for deli coffee (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Daddy’s voice comes back to haunt him (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
"All the good boys go to Heaven" (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But the club is full and he can’t get in

[Chorus]
He says "why can’t I get what’s mine?
Why? Why?
I waited all my life
Why? Why?"

[Post-Chorus]
What's going on?
What's going on?
These nights are long and longеr
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
[Verse 3]
Girls just get the wrong impression (Yеah, yeah, yeah)
When he says he’s worth a million (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And all the kids in town are taken (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But immigrants, machines and women

[Chorus]
He says "why can’t I get what’s mine?
Why? Why?
I waited all my life
Why? Why?"
Why can’t I get what’s mine?
Why? Why?
I waited all my life
Why? Why?
