Why Can’t We Lyrics by Aṣa

Beautiful Imperfection

2011

[Intro]
Woke up early this morning
With a smile on my face
Thought you were next to me
But then I see you walking away

[Verse 1]
Something ain't right this morning
Is it a sign he's leaving me?
So I call on a friend
Who might know better than me
She says:

[Pre-Chorus]
You worry much about things you don't understand
But don't give up, if it doesn't go with the plan
Why not have some fun?
While you're still young and still okay
'Cause life is short
Do what you can today, today!

[Chorus][x2]
Why can't we be happy?
Ooo... ooo... Ooo... ooo!

[Verse 2]
What is life about?
Did nobody tell you?
The reason why I ask
I can see you're so confused, oh!

[Pre-Chorus]
You worry much about the things you cannot see
You have it all, with your money, yet you still complain
Why not live this life?
While you're still young and still okay
'Cause life is short
Do what you can today, today!

[Chorus][x4]

[Bridge]
Bayu ba bayu bay
Ai-yah, Ai-yah...
Bayu ba bayu bay, bay
Aaa-ah...

[Verse 3]
Tell me why can't we be lovin'?
Ooo... ooo... Ooo... ooo!
Why can't we be smiling?
Ooo... ooo... Ooo... ooo!
Why can't we be leavin'?
(Yea, yea!)
Ooo... ooo... Ooo... ooo!
Tell me why can't we be smiling?
Yea, yea, yea...
And why can't we be happy?
(Why can't we?)
Yea, yea...
Oh why can't we be lovin'?
(Why can't we be smiling?)
Yea-aaa-ahh...

[Outro]
Why, why, why?
Why...?
Why can't we be lovin'?
Yea, yea-yea, yea... Aa-ah...
