Lyrics
Song Title: Baby Asks Why
Baby asks why I?m bailing out
Without a chute-
Don?t I like smooth sailing?
Don?t I like soft landings?
Baby asks why I?d rip our love up
By the root,
Don?t I like red roses
Swaying in soft breezes?
All I can say is , ?I?m no longer sure,
Sure enough for me to stay.?
Baby asks why
I will not wait for spring to show,
All I can say is, ?I don?t know.?
Baby asks why I?m discontented
At this time,
Why I won?t wait for inspiration to return.
Baby asks why my lyrics will no longer rhyme,
If love has no more lessons left for us to learn?
All I can say is , ?I?m no longer sure,
Sure enough for me to stay.?
Baby asks why
I will not wait for spring to show,
All I can say is, ?I don?t know.?
I?d like the old ways to return,
I?d like nothing better than that.
But in the meantime we both spurn
Looking for new ways ?
Baby asks why I?m bailing out
Without a chute-
Don?t I like smooth sailing?
Don?t I like soft landings?
Baby asks why I?d rip our love up
By the root ?
Don?t I like red roses
Swaying in soft breezes?
All I can say is , ?I?m no longer sure,
Sure enough for me to stay.?
Baby asks why
I will not wait for spring to show,
All I can say is, ?I don?t know.?
