(Dwight Yoakam)



Oh baby why not

Just take one more chance

And risk all we got

On this luckless romance

If someone asks why

We'll say we forgot

And went kinda crazy

Oh baby why not



If love needs a fool

For it to survive

It sure looks to me

Like we both qualify

And a pair of fools

Will always beat one

So let's play the cards

And get this deal done



Oh baby why not

Bet big on the bliss

And laugh in the face

Of what all odds insist

If someone asks why

We'll say we forgot

And both lost our minds

Oh baby why not



Oh baby please

You and I

Are exactly what we need

So let's throw away all care

Move out on the edge somewhere

Find a place and just swing there in the breeze



Oh baby why not

Just take one more chance

And risk all we got

On this luckless romance

If someone asks why

We'll say we forgot

And threw our lives away

Oh baby why not

And went kinda crazy

Oh baby why not

And both lost our minds

Oh baby why not



Oh baby, oh baby,

Oh baby, oh baby why not



Why not, why not

Why not, why not

Why not, why not

Why not, why not

Why not



Give me three good reasons, and I'll let you up

No, wait a minute, give me five good reasons and I'll let you up

Uh huh, Uh huh

No, four don't count, 'cause that's your mother's reason

Hey, don't bite me



Oh baby why not
