Lyrics

What you gonna say when they’re looking at you
How you gonna act when you ain’t got a clue
What you gonna do when they tell you the truth

How you gonna feel when your love is away
Who you gonna be at the end of the day
Are you gonna leave when there’s reason to stay

Why do anything
If it’s a game and you’re a pawn
Why you gotta ask “why”
When there ain’t no way to respond

When you gonna quit all your habits and sins
When you gonna change back to what you have been
How you gonna save when the money is thin

What you gonna do when nobody believes
Where you gonna go when you’re seventy three
How you gonna hide all the weight underneath

Why can’t you be like them
Pretty, blue eyed and blonde
Why you gotta ask “why”
When there ain’t no way to respond

Where you gonna hide all your worry and dread
Who’s gonna fill the empty place in your bed
Who you gonna love when your friends have fled

How you gonna act when your treasures are found
What you gonna hear when you don’t hear a sound
Who you gonna be when there’s no one around

Why you gotta lose them
Living with the pain when they’re gone
Why you gotta ask “why”
When there ain’t no way to respond
