Lyrics

All my life I've been so secluded
Love has eluded me
But from knowing second hand what I'd do of it
I feel certain I could stand a closer view of it
So why shouldn't I
Take a chance when romance passes by?
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around
When each age has a sage who has found
That upon this earth
Love is all that is really worth thinking of?
It must be fun, lots of fun
To be sure when day is done
That the hour is coming when
You'll be kissed and then
You'll be kissed again
All debutants say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?
They all give love a try
So why shouldn't I?
