Why I Don`t Know — текст песни (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
