Lyrics for Why Judy Why

Of all the people in the world that I know You're the best place to go When I cry, when I cry I never asked for much before, not before Things are changed; I need more Tell me why, Judy, why? Mmm I never thought that she would say Say goodbye; but she did And now I wanna die. I wanna die I never thought that I would need, need a friend Oh, but I did, in the end Tell me why, Judy, why Oh, what a scene It's wrong for her to hang me up this way Oh, where you been? 'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day A man my age is very young, so I'm told Why do I feel so old? Tell me why, Judy, why? Mmm Oh, what a scene It's wrong for her to hang me up this way Oh, where you been? 'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day There's no tomorrow 'cause my dream did not last So I live in the past Tell me why, Judy, why? Tell me why, Judy, why? Oh, tell me why, Judy, why?
