Why Me?
Golden Earring

From the Album:
* To the hilt

I€™m standing on the clifftop, watchin€™ stormclouds grow
It€™s disappointment time again, I€™ve been up here before
The wind balloons my jacket, seabirds collide below
A pier stands on a hundred stilts, some stranded U.F.O
I€™ve stopped the car, in a dead end street
Rear view mirror, nothing but empty seats
I could brace myself, smash through the concrete
Find what€™s behind that wall of insecurity
From gin and jags, to sqaulor and skag
Selena, what a drag
Once we were, back to back
Almost there, but white was black
Why me?, designed to compete
Always, flirtin€™ with defeat
Why me?, I knew it when we met
Hell, what else could you expect
Why me?, hungry for affection
It ends, with chaos and rejection
Through the wall and over the cliff
I made the decision, you took quite a risk
Selena says, as she strokes my head
With luck like yours, you should be dead
Forget the past and melt my silver spoon
Selena, not a minute too soon
Broke the chains of negativity
At last I score a victory
Why me?, no need to compete
Nowadays, I think at defeat
She€™s me, I felt it when me met
That feel, cancels all regret
Me, the center of attraction
The and, adds to your confusion
I€™m standin€™, on the clifftop
Waving, waving
Why me?, no need to compete
Nowadays, I wink at defeat
She€™s me, I felt it when we met
That feel, cancels all regret
Still me, the center of attraction
The and, adds to your confusion
I€™m standin€™, on the clifftop
Waitin€™ for the cops
