Audra Mcdonald - Why Cant I Lyrics

[BETTY]
Darling, don't leave me
I'm so lonesome tonight
Nothing is right
With me

[MARY JANE]
You can't deceive me
What you need is romance
Something in pants
Said she

[BETTY]
You're so clever
But I never
Thought you ever
Knew

[MARY JANE]
My maiden's prayer
Leaves me weak as a cat
For I am that
Way too

[BETTY]
Feeling the way I do
I'd like to say, "I do!"
Heaving a heavenly sigh
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
[MARY JANE]
Creeping to bed alone
Resting my head alone
Only the pillow nearby
Some have a reason for dreaming
Why can't I?

[BETTY]
I feel forsaken
On nights like this
Can't I awaken
To someone's kiss?

Only my book in bed
Knows how I look in bed

[MARY JANE]
Nobody hears when I cry

[BETTY & MARY JANE]
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?

[MARY JANE]
Feeling the way I do
I'd like to say, "I do!"
Nature is hard to deny
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
[BETTY]
If love brings merriment
I must experiment
With some electrical guy
Even old maids find a burglar
Why can't I?

[MARY JANE]
Should girls be good girls?

[BETTY]
I think they should

[MARY JANE]
I need a good man
To make me be good

Two feet are ever cold
Four feet are never cold
I only mean to imply
Everybody does something

[BETTY]
Everybody has someone

[BETTY & MARY JANE]
Why can't I?
