Why Was I Born?
Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein II
Why was I born?
Tell me why I am living?
What do I get?
Or what am I'm giving?
What do I want a thing
I damn not hope for
What can I hope for?
I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me
Honey tell me why do I cry
'Cause you're never gonna hear me
I'm a poor fool but what can I do, do?
Why was I born to love you?
Oh, why do I try to draw you near me
Oh, why do I cry
'Cause you're never gonna hear me
I'm a poor fool but what, what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
