Why Lyrics

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.
