What Do You Want of Me? Lyrics by Joan Diener

Man of La Mancha

0

[ALDONZA]
Why do you do the things you do?
Why do you do these things?
Why do you march through that dream that you're in
Covered with glory and rusty old tin?
Why try to be what nobody can be
And what do you want of me?
What do you want of me?
Why do you do the things you do?
Why do you do these things?
Why do you rush at the world all alone
Fighting mad battles that aren't your own?
Why do you live in a world that can't be
And what do you want of me?
What do you want of me?
Why don't you know
That you're laughed at wherever you go?
But I cannot laugh with the rest
And why, I don't know
Why do you do the things you do?
Why do you do these things?
Why do you batter at walls that won't break?
Why do you give when it's natural to take?
Where do you see all the good that you see
And what do you want of me?
What do you want of me?
