Of all the people in the world that I know
You're the best place to go When I cry, when I cry |
Words and Music by Billy Joel
From Cold Spring Harbor (1971) |
I never asked for much before, not before
Things are changed; I need more
Tell me why Judy why?
I never thought that she would say
Say goodbye; but she did
And now I wanna die. I wanna die
I never thought that I would need, need a friend
But I did, in the end
Tell me why Judy why?
Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day
A man my age is very young, so I'm told
Why do I feel so old?
Tell me why Judy why?
Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day
There's no tomorrow 'cause my dreams did not last
So I live in the past
Tell me why Judy why?
Things are changed; I need more
Tell me why Judy why?
I never thought that she would say
Say goodbye; but she did
And now I wanna die. I wanna die
I never thought that I would need, need a friend
But I did, in the end
Tell me why Judy why?
Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day
A man my age is very young, so I'm told
Why do I feel so old?
Tell me why Judy why?
Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day
There's no tomorrow 'cause my dreams did not last
So I live in the past
Tell me why Judy why?
