Why Can't I? - Eartha Kitt

Feeling the way I do, I’d like to say «I do!»

Heaving a heavenly sigh

Everybody has a someone

Why can’t I?

Creeping to bed alone, resting my head alone

Only my 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 a someone

Why can’t I?

Feeling the way I do I’d like to say, «I do!»

Nature is hard to deny

Everybody has a someone

Why can’t I?

Feeling the way I do, I’d like to say «I do!»

Nature is hard to deny

Everybody has a 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 has someone

Why can’t I?

Everybody needs someone

Why can’t I?
