Lyrics Why Was I Born - Teddy Wilson And His Orchestra

Why Was I Born

Why was I born?
Why am I livin'?
What do I get?
What am I givin'?
Why do I want for things I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for?
I wish I knew!
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I cry?
You never hear me
I’m a poor fool, but what can I do?
Oh, baby, why was I born to love you?
