Why I Don't Know Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

Was it the champagne 

Was it the caviar 

Was it her airplane 

Was it her daddy's car 

Was it the new thing 

With all the dough 

Why i don't know 

I just had to go 

Was that the yacht club 

Or just a fishing boat 

Was that the leg of lamb 

Or was it a billy goat 

Was that a snail baby 

Or escargot 

Why i don't know 

I just had to go 

I'm just a poor boy 

I like to have fun 

I know a pretty girl when i see one 

I've seen the real thing 

The imitation too 

So don't go telling me what to do 

Was that a beer joint 

Or was that the country club 

Were we fooling around 

Or was it truly love 

Was that a foreign film 

Or just a show 

Why i don't know 

I just had to go 

I'm just a poor boy 

I like to have fun 

I know a pretty girl when i seen one 

I've seen the real thing 

The imitation too 

So don't go telling me what to do 

So keep your champagne 

And keep your caviar 

And fly your airplane 

Into your daddy's car 

And so you'll understand 

I'll tell you slow 

Why i don't know 

I just had to...go
