HOW COME WHY WHEN I TRY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER
DO THEY ALWAYS TURN OUT WORSE
HOW COME DO ALL MY BEST INTENTIONS
END UP ACTING LIKE A CURSE
HOW COME WHY WHEN I TRY TO BE HAPPY
DO I ALWAYS END UP SAD
AND WHY WHEN I
WANT TO BE GOOD
DO I ALWAYS END UP BEING BAD

Bridge
HOW COME, HOW COME
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY
HOW COME WHEN I TRY TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
DOES IT END UP ME WHO CRIES
HOW COME, HOW COME
DOES ANYBODY KNOW

HOW COME, BROTHER CAN YOU TELL ME WHY
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON

HOW COME WHY WHEN I WANT YOUR TRUE LOVE
DO I DRIVE YOU AWAY
AND WHY DO I SAY GO
WHEN I WANT YOU JUST TO STAY
HOW COME DO THE PIECES NEVER FIT TOGETHER
THEY NEVER STAY IN THE SAME PLACE
AND WHY WHEN I
LEARN ABOUT LOVE
HAVE I ALWAYS LEARNED TOO LATE

bridge
HOW COME, HOW COME
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN
HOW COME DO I KEEP ON FALLING DOWN
WHEN I’M TRYING TO BE FREE
HOW COME, HOW COME
IS THE ANSWER NEVER CLEAR
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THESE DRY EYES
ALWAYS RUN WITH TEARS

HOW COME

IS THE ANSWER EVER CLEAR
