Why Do I Have To Choose

Why do I have to choose and see everybody lose
To walk around and sing the blues, well darling I refuse

A love is hard to find, a love of any kind
But a love like hers and mine creates it's own design

So why do I have to choose, see everybody lose
To walk around and sing the blues, well darling I refuse

And when I think of her and then I think of you
The love is not the same but either love is true

Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose
Walk around and sing the blues, well darling I refuse

Why do I have to choose, see everybody lose
Walk around and sing the blues, well darling I refuse
