Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why lyrics

All the waiters in your grand café
Leave their tables when you blink
Ohh, every dog must have his every day
Every drunk must have his drink

Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances don't ask me why

All your life you had to stand in line
Still you're standing on your feet
Ohh, all your choices made
You change your mind
Now your calendar's complete

Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances don't ask me why

Mmm, you can say the human heart
Is only make-believe
And I am only fighting fire with fire
But you are still a victim
Of the accidents you leave
As sure as I'm a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotel
Throw their roses at your feet
Fool them all but baby I can tell
You're no stranger to the street

Don't ask for favors don't talk to strangers
Don't ask me why

Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you, "Parlez-vous français?"

Don't look for answers you took your chances
Don't ask me why

Don't ask me why
