Don't Ask Me Why (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 31, 1999) - Billy Joel

All the waiters in your grand cafe

Leave their tables when you blink

Every dog must have his everyday

Every drunk must have his drink

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why

All you life you had to stand in line

Still you're standing on your feet

All your choices made you change your mind

Now your calender's complete

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why

You can say the human heart

Is only make-believe

And I am only fighting fire with fire

But you are still a victim

Of the accidents you leave

As sure as I'm a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotel

Throw their roses at your feet

Fool them all but baby I can tell

You're no stranger to the street

Don't ask for favors

Don't talk to strangers

Don't ask me why

Yesterday you were an only child

Now your ghosts have gone away

You can kill them in the classic style

Now you parlez vous francais

Don't look for answers

You took your chances

Don't ask me why

Don't ask me why
