Lyrics
BABY WHY
I came in here for some drinks and laughter
Yeah tonight it's where I want to be
I'm gonna shoot 'em down and look around
For a girl lookin' back at me
Don't want serious, just some good time fun
I wanna dance to the feel good songs
Keep it light and cool, say goodnight at 2
Then tomorrow wonder what went wrong... and
Why'd you hurt me, why'd you lie
Why'd you go and break my heart...Baby why..Baby Why
I'll need to take some time to try and piece together
Every clue that I didn't see
But tonight I'm drinkin' and won't be thinkin' 'bout
How you were cheatin' on me...or...
Why you hurt me, why you lied
Why you went and broke my heart...Baby why...Baby Why
INSTRUMENTAL
Yeah, I came in here for some drinks and laughter
Keep 'em pourin', friend, make 'em strong
I'm gonna dance with that girl who's lookin' at me
(and not worry 'bout what went wrong)...or ...
Why she hurt me, why she lied
Why she went and broke my heart...Baby why...Baby Why
Why'd you hurt me, tell me why'd you lie
Why'd you go and break my heart... baby, why...Baby why
