"Why Not?" lyrics

Why do I do the things I do?

I know I've got everything I need
So, why do I still shake the tree?
There's something missing in my life
Been there, done it, that was nice
But there's still something shaking me

Why do I do the things I do?
Why do I do the things I do?
Why do I say the things I say?
I'm as close as I can get
Still I haven't found it yet
Somebody, help me find my way

All I need are some suggestions
All I get consequences
Why do I do the things I do?
I'm gonna let it out
Why not?

All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do?
Gonna let it out
Why not?

Another late-night cameo
Some other place, another show
But I'm not getting tired yet
Have you heard a word I've said?
I just dropped in to say "hello"

Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I leave well enough alone?
I don't know what I have to do
Somehow I see myself in you
Tell me something I don't know

All I need are some suggestions
All I get consequences
Why do I do the things I do?
I'm gonna let it out
Why not?

All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do?
Gonna let it out
Why not?

Gonna let it out
Why not?

Gonna let it out

I want it all at any price
If I've done it once. I've done it twice
I'm as close as I can get
Still I haven't found it yet

I want it all at any price
If I've done it once. I've done it twice
Once you've got me in the mood
I can see myself in you
It's never wrong, it's never right

Now you see me, now you don't
I just dropped in to say "hello"
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
I'm as close as I can get
Still I haven't found it yet
Damned if I do, damned if I don't

All I need are some suggestions
All I get consequences
Why do I do the things I do?
I'm gonna let it out
Why not?

All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do?
Gonna let it out
Why not?

All I need is satisfaction
All I get in no reaction
Why do I do—?
Why do I do the things I do?
Why not?

All I need is some connection
All I want is your direction
Why do I do what I do?
Gonna let it out
Why not?
