[verse 1]
Is it that we're both the same,
or that the opposite is true.
You fell head over heels for me,
an' I did the same for you.
[verse 2]
Neither of us, are lookers,
don't get a second glance.
Wouldn't have backed either,
or given us, any chance.
[chorus]
Why me? why me? tell me!
look me in the eyes, an' tell,
Go on, tell me, what you see,
what's the reason, that you fell.
For me.
[verse 3]
Beauty an' the beholder,
It never meant, what it should.
On the day we met, that phrase,
was the first time, I understood.
[chorus]
Why me? why me? tell me!
look me in the eyes, an' tell,
Go on, tell me, what you see,
what's the reason, that you fell.
For me.
[verse 4]
I see how beautiful you are,
when I look into your eyes.
See everythin', I ever wanted,
why ask, the reason why?
[chorus]
Why me? why me? tell me!
look me in the eyes, an' tell,
Go on, tell me, what you see,
what's the reason, that you fell.
For me.
[bridge]
No need to justify, just why,
we're in love for all these years.
So much that, I adore about you,
mostly happy days, a few tears.
[final chorus]
Why me? why me? tell me!
look me in the eyes, an' tell,
Go on, tell me, what you see,
what's the reason, that you fell.
For me.
[outro]
I'm not interested, in peoples views,
when they talk about, me and you.
Only one question left, that I can see,
of all the men, in the world, why me?

This transferred to music very smoothly.
Just reading it I wasn't sure how it was going to sound. Most times I get some sort of feeling about the music from the lyric (right or wrong!) but on this one I didn't, so I was pleasantly surprised. Things like phrases broken across lines worked very well.
And the faster pacing of "Why me? why me? tell me!" comes out very well. It could have been done in a slow plaintive way, but this is much better.
An enjoyable song!

Thank you
I'm breaking new ground with this "open prairie" style of lyric writing and I've got no idea how it will pan out. The inspiration for this style came from listening to Michael Buble who seems to "invite" listeners to partake in a conversation style presentation, a bit different.

Hi Carroll,
Where have you been mate? Missed your sorry ass! 60 days in the pen or something?
Glad to have you back.

Very cool twist , having the title imply something sad and self-pitying and then the lyric actually taking it a totally different direction. I like that!
