Why Not Me

Why Not Me - Phyllis Hyman

Written by：Phyllis Linda Hyman/Gordon Chambers/Dianne Quander/Barry Eastmond

I've traveled down this road before

It seems this time

But I'm not sure

Should I even try again

Try to believe

That there's someone there for me

Now that I'm alone

My heart needs to know

Why not me

Why not me

Is it a crime to be myself

To be who I was meant to be

Why not me

Why not me

Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream

Why not me

I wanna know

Can you tell me

Why not me

Could I be right

Could I be wrong

To feel this way

For so long

Don't wanna give up who I am

I compromise just to please a man

I'm so confused

I'm telling you

Don't wanna sing the blues hey hey

Why not me

Why not me

Is it a crime to be myself

To be who I was meant to be

Why not me

Why not me

Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream

Why not me

I need a man who's got his own

Someone who's sensitive and strong

Tell me will I have to wait

Will tomorrow be too late

Why not me

I wanna know I need to know

Is it a crime to be myself

To be who I was meant to be

Why not me

Why not me

Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream

Why not me

I wanna know

I need to know

Can you tell me why

Everyone needs somebody who will be there for them

Yes they do

They really do

They really need

Someone someone there for them

I need someone to be there for me

Don't you know

I really need

I need to believe that there's someone

I need a man

Who's got his own

I need him strong

I need him now

Whoa yes I do

I really do

I wanna know

I really need him yes I do

Ooh
