Letra Why José Feliciano

Why

Why can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

Oh darlin', why, can't they see,

That a love like ours was meant to be.

I was thrown into this crazy world

And I never had me the love of a girl.

You came and showed me that love could be found.

No one's got the right to tell me

I can't have you around.

Why can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

Oh darlin', why, can't they see,

That a love like ours was meant to be.

I was born in an old tin shack

And all I had, Lord, is what I carried on my back.

But Daddy told me, "Son, don't be no fool,

When you're on your own, please obey the golden rule."

Why, why, why; can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be,

Oh darlin', why, can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

Oye me negrona, oye cosa buena,

Oye me mulatta; hey, hey, ya, ya,

Hey, hey

I want to know now, I want to know

Why does this world have to be so mixed up.

I love you and I've got to have you, darlin'.

Why can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

Why can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

So tell me, Why, why

Can't they see

That a love like ours was meant to be.

Oye me negrona, oye me mulatta.

Oye que yo me voy para gosar alla

Hey, hey hey.
