Billy Joel Don't Ask Me Why song lyrics

All the waiters in your grand café

Leave their tables when you blink, oh

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've had to stand in line

Still you're standing on your feet, oh

All your choices make 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

I am only fighting fire with fire

You are still the victim of the accidents you leave

Sure as I'm a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotel

Throw their roses at your feet, oh

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, oh

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
