Why Not? – Peter Allen

You’re too young and I’m too tall
We’re two strangers after all
There’s no reason why we should fall
Let’s give it a shot
Why not? Why not?
When people ask why I smile and I reply
Why not? Why not?

I’ve got habits you can’t break
You’ve got friends that I can’t take
Love is pointless for heaven’s sake
But let’s thicken the plot
Why not? Why not?
When people ask me why I smile and I reply
Why not? Why not?

We could say goodbye and blow the deal
We might save ourselves a lot of heartache
But let’s not forget this glow we feel
You can’t deny it’s worth the try
Why not?

You can’t deny
It’s worth a try
Why not?

What if romance turns out great
My pulse races in such a state
Why court danger and why tempt fate
But then on second thought
Why not? Why not?

Let’s give it a shot
Let’s thicken the plot
On second thought
Why not? Why not?
People ask me why
I smile and I reply
Why not?
Give it a shot
Why not?
No, you can’t deny
Now it’s worth a try
Why not?
Ooh, why not?…
