Why Me
Love's Deceptive Dance: A Nightclub Tale
Lyrics
I met her in a night club over on the lower east side
I encountered her in a night club located on the lower east side.
I was workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove alive
I was focused on my work, trying to maintain the rhythm and energy.
She looked like a bunny out of Playboy magazine
She resembled a woman featured in Playboy magazine, suggesting attractiveness.
She was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.
She was the most adorable person I had ever seen.
She had high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue eyes
She wore high heel boots, had blonde hair, and striking blue eyes.
The way she was movin' to the music had me hypnotized
Her dancing to the music captivated me and held my attention.
I ran up to her, said, "Baby, what's your name?"
I approached her, asking for her name.
I should've know better now I've only got myself to blame.
In hindsight, I realize I should have been more cautious; I have only myself to blame.
Why, why, why me?
Expressing confusion or frustration about the situation: "Why is this happening to me?"
Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need
Falling into this situation is the last thing I need.
If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave
If I were sensible, I would turn around and leave.
I said why, why, why me?
Reiterating the question, expressing disbelief or frustration about the circumstances.
Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in town
Engaging in extravagant spending, visiting various places in town.
Bam! A hundred dollars every time I turned around
Suddenly losing money; a significant amount each time I looked around.
'bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was gone
By the time my money ran out, my partner had left me.
And I was cryin' out loud to myself, as I was walkin' home.
Expressing audible sadness while walking home alone.
Why, why, why me?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the unexpected and undesired nature of the situation.
Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need
Falling into such circumstances is the least desirable for me.
If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave
If I were sensible, I would choose to leave the situation.
I said why, why, why me?
Restating the disbelief or frustration about being in this situation.
