Why Shouldn't I

Why Shouldn't I - Margaret Whiting

All my life I've been so secluded

Love has eluded me

But from knowing second-hand what I'd do of it

I feel certain I could stand a closer view of it

So why shouldn't I

Take a chance when romance passes by

Why shouldn't I know of love

Why wait around

When each age has a sage who has found

That upon this earth love is all that

Is really worth thinking of

It must be fun

Lots of fun

To be sure when day is done

That the hour is coming

When you'll be kissed and then

You'll be kissed again

Oh debutants say it's good

And every star out in far Hollywood

Seems to give it a try

So why shouldn't I

They all give love a try

So why shouldn't I
