GOLDEN EARRING lyrics : "Why Me?"

(G.Kooymans/B.Hay/J.Fenton)
I'm standing on the cliff top, watchin' storm clouds 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 UFO
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 squalor and scab
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 end, adds to your confusion
I'm standin' on the cliff top, 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 end, adds to your confusion
I'm standin', on the cliff top
Waitin' for the cops
