Why Do You Bother ?
(words and music Marc Harry)
Why do You bother with me when You know I’ll be no good ?
Why do You bother with me - I thought You understood ?
I told You long ago just to leave me with my song.
I told You long ago - I thought You knew that all along...
Lonely traveller on the highway of life
Don’t interrupt me - I’m doing fine
I’m just a traveller on the highway of life
Don’t let me get You down but...
I’m not coming around.
Why don’t You leave me alone - I’ve got too much to do ?
Why don’t You leave me alone, I don’t want to listen to You ?
I’m happy where I am, doing anything I like,
I can’t communicate - my prayer-life’s gone on strike !
Lonely traveller on the highway of life
Don’t interrupt me - I’m doing fine
I’m just a traveller on the highway of life
Don’t let me get You down but...
I’m not coming around.
I’ve lost my peace of mind...
I’m feeling so unkind...
Don’t know which way to go...
I give up - I want to know.
I’m glad you bothered with me and now we’ll be OK,
You’ll walk beside of me each step of the way.
I told You long ago just to leave me with my song
But You knew that I’d never last - and You knew it all along !
Lonely traveller on the highway of life
Your Spirit’s with me - I’m doing fine
I’m NOT just a traveller on the highway of life
And I know when I lay down that - I’ll be wearing a crown.
