Oscar hammerstein ii / jerome kern



Why was i born

Why am i livin'

What do i get

What am i givin'

Why do i want for things

I dare not hope for

What can i hope for

I wish i knew

Why do i try

To draw you near me

Why do i cry

You never hear me

I'm a poor fool

But what can i do

Oh baby why was i born

To love you
