Why I Don't Know - Lyle Lovett


    Was it the champagne
    Was it the caviar
    Was it her airplane
    Was it her daddy's car
    Was it the new thing
    With all the dough
    Why I don't know
    I just had to go

    Was that the yacht club
    Or just a fishing boat
    Was that the leg of lamb
    Or was it a billy goat
    Was that a snail baby
    Or escargot
    Why I don't know
    I just had to go

    I'm just a poor boy
    I like to have fun
    I know a pretty girl when I see one
    I've seen the real thing
    The imitation too
    So don't go telling me what to do

    Was that a beer joint
    Or was that the country club
    Were we fooling around
    Or was it truly love
    Was that a foreign film
    Or just a show
    Why I don't know
    I just had to go

    I'm just a poor boy
    I like to have fun
    I know a pretty girl when I seen one
    I've seen the real thing
    The imitation too
    So don't go telling me what to do

    So keep your champagne
    And keep your caviar
    And fly your airplane
    Into your daddy's car
    And so you'll understand
    I'll tell you slow
    Why I don't know
    I just had to...go
