Intro: It was too good to be true How could I think it would be good at all Still you stand tall You had a story to tell You said it had a happy ending But not one for me You strung me along Said there's nobody else Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling? I marvel at the face Of this life of disgrace You have been for so long It took the tidal waves Of five hundred hurricanes To help me reach the shore Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are? The first time you took my hand And you wooed me with the language of love And of life The second time, still I believed Your kids just told me that I was no fool That you were not cruel Then you broke my heart with ease Saying, "I'm not a bad man" Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling? I marvel at the face Of this life of disgrace You have been for so long It took the tidal waves Of five hundred hurricanes To help me reach the shore Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are? Bridge: When the lies and the cheating and the blaming is on When the work day is ended and the ? ? is gone Will you lie in your bed and no life remains? Do you know your deception, do you feel any pain_____? Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling? And I marvel at the face Of this life of disgrace You have been for so long It took the tidal waves Of five hundred hurricanes To help me reach the shore Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are? Oh, why would you want to be the way that you are?
