Lyrics Why I Was Born - Lena Horne

Why I Was Born

Why was I born?
Why am I living?
What do I get?
What am I giving?
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?
Why do I try to draw you near me?
And why do I cry, you never hear me
I’m just a poor fool, but what can I do?
Oh baby, why was I born to love you?
Tell me, why was I born to love you?
