Why Lyrics by Lily Allen

Not Fair - EP

2009

[Verse 1]
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived, and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted the day
So go for long walks, have well informed talks
In a non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why won't you stay?

[Chorus]
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years (For years)
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change (Change)
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

[Verse 2]
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy
Or maybe I've no friends at all
When I'm watching TV, they're all out necking E's
And, well, obviously, I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why don't you call?

[Chorus]
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years (For years)
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change (Change)
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

[Bridge]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh

[Chorus]
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years (For years)
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change (Change)
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
