Why Me? Lyrics By Irene Cara

    life felt so right i was drowned in your light
    with the world so in tune ’til you made me out for a fool

    left with nothing to do can’t forget about you
    with my heart in my hands pack my bags leave the memories with you

    you gave me nothing but misery
    i found so much more
    you used me oh so helplessly
    i don’t want your sympathy
    why me why me why me
    when i was the one who could set your heart free
    why me why me why me
    you took all the love i gave up selfishly
    why me

    trapped in your space never thought i could face
    going one step beyond when i knew deep inside i was strong

    now i know what it takes can’t repeat the mistakes
    when new love comes along it’ll give me what i’ll call my own
