Rodgers & Hart — Why Cant I?

(Verse) [BETTY] Darling, don't leave me I'm so lonesome tonight Nothing is right With me [MARY JANE] You can't deceive me What you need is romance Something in pants Said she [BETTY] You're so clever But I never Thought you ever Knew [MARY JANE] My maiden's prayer Leaves me weak as a cat For I am that Way too (Chorus 1) [BETTY] Feeling the way I do I'd like to say, "I do!" Heaving a heavenly sigh Everybody has someone Why can't I? Creeping to bed alone Resting my head alone Only the pillow nearby Some have a reason for dreaming Why can't I? I feel forsaken On nights like this Can't I awaken To someone's kiss? Only my book in bed Knows how I look in bed Nobody hears when I cry Everybody has someone Why can't I? (Chorus 2) {MARY JANE] Feeling the way I do I'd like to say, "I do!" Nature is hard to deny Everybody has someone Why can't I? If love brings merriment I must experiment With some electrical guy Even old maids find a burglar Why can't I? Should girls be good girls? I think they should I need a good man To make me be good Two feet are ever cold Four feet are never cold I only mean to imply Everybody does something Why can't I?
