[Verse 1] Why does she sing Her sad songs for me, Im not the one To tenderly bring Her soft sympathy, Ive just begun To see my way clear and its plain If I stop I will fall I can lay down a tear for her pain Just a tear and thats all What does she want me to do? She says that she knows That moments are rare I suppose that its true Then on she goes to say I dont care Aw, she knows that I do [Chorus] Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song Who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong? [Verse 2] Shed like to think I was cruel But she knows thats a lie for I would be No more than a tool If I allowed her to cry all over me Ah my sorrow is real Even though I cant change my plans If she could see how I feel Then I know shed understand Ah does she actually think Im to blame? Does she really believe that some word of mine Could relieve all her pain? Cant she see that she grieves Just because shes been blindly deceived By her shame [Chorus] Ah but maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song Who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong? [Verse 3] Ah but nothins what it seems Maybe shell start some day to realize If she abandons her dreams Then all the words she can say are only lies Ah when will she see that to gain Is only to lose All that she offers me are her chains And I got to refuse Ah but its only to herself that shes lied She likes to pretend Theres something that she should defend With her pride And I dont intend To stand here and be the friend From whom she must hide [Chorus] Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song Who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong? Ah but maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
ah, sake, sing, maybe, shes
