Why I Was Born? - Lena Horne

Why was I born?

Why am I living?

What do I get?

What am I giving?

Why do I want

For things I dare not hope for?

What can I hope for?

I wish I knew

Why do I try to draw you near me?

Why do I cry, you never hear me

I’m a poor fool, but what can I do?

Oh baby, why was I born to love you?

Why do I try to draw you near me?

And why do I cry, you never hear me

I’m just a poor fool, but what can I do?

Oh baby, why was I born to love you?

Tell me, why was I born to love you?
