Lyrics
Why Carry On
She was just 14, I just got out of school
They all said she's so young, don't be such a fool
One minute we were just lying there, next one we were wed
one in the frying pan and a two year old to be fed
We worked and played through all those years, all those ups and downs
But now I'm just sitting here with my whole world spinning round
(CHORUS)
It don't look like she's comin back, how'd we ever get off track
It seemed so right for so long, but now she says that it's all wrong
Tell me why oh why, should I try to carry on
She got oh so sad, cause I had a drink or two
The trouble is and I know now, that I often had more than just a few
She'd tell me that she's leavin' me, and I'd apologize to her
We'd kiss and cry and make up, until I had my next stir
I tried so hard to right my wrongs, she seemed to fade away
And then she finally came to me, she said I'm leavin' you today
(Chorus)
