The Judds ~ Why Not Me? lyrics

 ~ 

Why Not Me?

Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall
My mind is running wild trying hard not to fall
You tell me that you love me but say I'm just a friend
My heart is broken up into pieces

'Cause I know I'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor

Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?

The day after tomorrow I'll still be around
To catch you when you fall and never let you down
You say that we're forever, our love will never end
I've tried to come up but it's drowning me to know

You'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor
Tell me baby

Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?

You won't ever know
How far we can go (Go)
You won't ever know
How far we can go (Go)

Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why
Why, oh why, tell me, why not me?
Why, oh why, we were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why, oh why, oh why

I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So why not me?
(Why not me, why not me?)

Lazy Country Evening

[Verse 1]
Lazy country evening
Sittin' by you
The baby's in his cradle
And the day's almost through

[Verse 2]
Red sunset
Over pine trees
I'm feelin' high as the mountain
Free as the breeze

[Bridge]
Yodel-ay-ee-oh
Yodel-ay-ee-oh
Yodel-ay-ee-oh
Yodel-ay-ee-oh

45 RPMS 69: The Judds ~ Why Not Me?

  ~  

Naomi Judd
date & photographer unknown

 

 

Naomi Judd died today. The very first thing that flashed like lightning through my mind was her 1984 hit song, Why Not Me?, she recorded with Wynonna as the mother/daughter team, The Judds.      

 

 

The Judds ~ Why Not Me?

 

 

Why Not Me? What a great song! A kick-ass foxtrot that could have been an Apache (dance) and only have been done C/W style. It is bouncy and smooth all at the same time for sensually, in spite of the lyrics (link below), smoothly gliding over a dance floor. How DO they come up with the wonderful things they do? 

The flip or "B" side is a gentle stroll down a Lazy Country Evening tree shaded lane. Gently drifting, a bit dreamy with a touch of beautiful yodeling thrown in, it is delightful.
