I can understand it

money's what you're working for



But I'm not a bandit and I don't love war.

I can only find out what it takes to have a lot



I don't have no more doubt

I'll keep what I've got!



Tell me why

tell me why

if sometimes you are happy



Tell me why

tell me why other times you're down



Tell me why

tell me why

why some people are lucky



Tell me why

tell me why life goes up and down.



Why is it that one guy's got everythin' going well



Why the other ones try

have to work like hell?

When your life is sunny

everybody's on your side



When it isn't funny

you have got to hide.



I don't know where to go if I will get an answer



it's such a mistery!

Anyway

who can say if I'll be a romancer

go down in history.

Tell me why

tell me why

if sometimes you are happy

. . .



I don't even know yet how to make the world go round



To be rich or in debt

to get off the ground.

Don't know the reason

I think I'll never

never know it



Who could ever answer? Maybe I wirr never I
