Lyrics

Why'd I have to be born this way?
Why do I have short hair?
Why aren't my eyes green?
Why do I look so mean?
Why don't I have lighter skin?
Darker skin, fuller lips
Why do you always want what you can't have?
And if you were to get it
You'd throw it in the trash
So ungrateful, not thankful for what you got
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
The grass gon' be greener
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
Why does the one I love never love me back?
And the one I took for granted seems so attached
But in the end you just settle 'cause you want a man
Why you argue 'bout something
When you don't stand for nothing?
Why is it easier to say what's wrong and then carry on?
While you're throwing the blame
Things stay the same and never ever change, no, no
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
The grass gon' be greener
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
Why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
Why is it cool to be ghetto?
Or should I say cool to know no better?
Why are you happy to be stuck where you are now?
Why so many questions and still no answers?
Why do we think it's democracy?
My rights are fading in front of me
Why am I sitting here, pen in hand, writing this song?
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
The grass gon' be greener
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
The grass gon' be greener
You're singing in the rain
You're not missed 'til you're gone
People never change
