Why Not Me Lyrics by David Baerwald

Suddenly, it came to me surrendering could set me free
Oh, what a comedy
Just when I’d scratched true love from my list
Given up hope such a thing could exist
Then you came along
So it was you all along

You who made me figure out what all those songs are all about
If love could save this whole damn world, then why not me?

Love again,
Like a forgotten friend came round the bend
I’m in love again
I think it’s love

I’ve come to grips with my loneliness
Contented myself with a meaningless kiss
When you came along
So it was you all along

You who made me figure out what all those songs are all about
If love could save this whole damn world,
This beautiful, this mixed up world
Then why not me?
