Why Not? - Peter Allen

You’re too young and I’m too tall

We’re two strangers after all

There’s no reason why we should fall

Let’s give it a shot

Why not?

Why not?

When people ask why I smile and I reply

Why not?

Why not?

I’ve got habits you can’t break

You’ve got friends that I can’t take

Love is pointless for heaven’s sake

But let’s thicken the plot

Why not?

Why not?

When people ask me why I smile and I reply

Why not?

Why not?

We could say goodbye and blow the deal

We might save ourselves a lot of heartache

But let’s not forget this glow we feel

You can’t deny it’s worth the try

Why not?

You can’t deny

It’s worth a try

Why not?

What if romance turns out great

My pulse races in such a state

Why court danger and why tempt fate

But then on second thought

Why not?

Why not?

Let’s give it a shot

Let’s thicken the plot

On second thought

Why not?

Why not?

People ask me why

I smile and I reply

Why not?

Give it a shot

Why not?

No, you can’t deny

Now it’s worth a try

Why not?

Ooh, why not…
