about

This is one of my faves. A tongue in cheek rant.

lyrics

WHY DID I LET words and music © Rosemary Schonfeld

I lie here and I wonder
At the mystery of life
How mountains never crumble
And how Elvis never dies
How do the pyramids relate to life today?
Why is there always one more lousy bill to pay
Why to the rivers always rush out to the sea
Why did I ever let a jerk like you near me?

Conundra and enigma fascinate me every day
Put my finger in the socket and it blows head away
Cars to the left or right depending where I am
What would all our armies do if there were no Saddam
These are things I wonder as I lie here in my bed
Why did I let a jerk like you into my head?

Looking through my telescope at the night sky
If I counted all the stars I’d be counting till I die
The moon and her mystery travelling in style
Needing no alarm clock to do the trip on time
In an hour in a minute in a billion trillion years
We could come and go and come and then completely disappear
Why does Mars look red? Why is Venus blue?
Why did I let myself love a jerk like you?
