Don't ask me why
All your life you had to stand
in line, still you're standing on your feet, oh.
All your choices made you
change your mind, now your calendar's complete.

As 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.
You can kill them in the
classic style, now you parlez vous Fran¨ais.
Don't look for answers, you
took your chances.
Don't ask me why.
Don't ask me why.
