Lyrics for Don't Ask Me Why
All the waiters in your, grand café Leave their tables when you blink, oh! Every dog must have his everyday Every drunk must have his drink Don't wait for answers Just take your chances Don't ask me why All your life you've had to stand in line Still you're standing on your feet, oh All your choices make you change your mind Now your calendar's complete Don't wait for answers Just take your chances Don't ask me why Mmm, you can say the human heart is only make believe I am only fighting fire with fire You are still the victim of the accidents you leave Sure as I'm a victim of desire All the servants in your new hotel Throw their roses at your feet, oh Fool them all but baby I can tell You're no stranger to the street Don't ask for favors Don't talk to strangers Don't ask me why Yesterday you were an only child Now your ghosts have gone away, oh You can kill them in the classic-style Now, you parlez-vous français Don't look for answers You took your chances Don't ask me why, Don't ask me why
