I do believe it's time for a change, but I also believe some things might never change in me and you, and the cruel things we do,
It seems we're both bruised,
And I'd rather be blind in this particular circumstance than risk a broken heart, darling,
Why should I take that chance'

I'm wondering why,
Girl, I'm still wondering why,
Why do I look for rain, a thundering storm, when there's no clouds in the sky'
I'm wondering,
Still wondering why.

Please get your face out of my chest and spit back my heart, if any of it's left,
Now I think I know that is where love goes,
To some it goes whichever way'whichever way they throw it,
It's not a thief, but a beggar, baby, who would kill for a crust of bread,
And which are you'
Who was it who put that gun to my head'

I'm wondering why,
Lord, I'm still wondering why,
Why does the sun shine'
Why do the birds sing on the morning I'm to die'
I'm wondering,
Still wondering why.

Raise your praying hands and hold them up to the light,
And tell me, what do you see'
What do you see, baby'
Well, the bloodstains may have dried, but they haven't gone away,
Oh honey, can't you see how love is killing me'

Here I am, once again upon my knees,
Would you tell me one more time'
I'm still wondering,
Still wondering why.
