Why Do You Torture Me? Lyrics
Why do you torture me?
Oh why… Do you Request a song that I can't sing?
Why do you torture me?
Oh why… Do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?
Believe me when I say that I am happy you like this song
It makes me smile when you light up at the chance to sing along
The problem is I read the lyrics in the studio as I recorded it
I haven't played the song since then. Never thought that you'd look forward to it
You ask me for a Christmas song in the middle of July
What's wrong with you? Why that song? Do you want to make a grown man cry?
Don't get me wrong. I'm proud I wrote it. But that was my old band
Good satire, sure, but it's not a great song. You're the only one to make that demand
I'm pretty sure I know most of the lyrics to your fine song request
But as I sing, I forget the punchline my eyes dart around in distress
If I’m gonna screw up the words to a song, at least let it be great
Cuz the chances are I played it enough that at least I'll make it out the gate
Oh why… Do you Request a song that I can't sing?
Why do you torture me?
Oh why… Do you wanna hear a song I can't sing?
It makes me smile when you light up at the chance to sing along
The problem is I read the lyrics in the studio as I recorded it
I haven't played the song since then. Never thought that you'd look forward to it
What's wrong with you? Why that song? Do you want to make a grown man cry?
Don't get me wrong. I'm proud I wrote it. But that was my old band
Good satire, sure, but it's not a great song. You're the only one to make that demand
But as I sing, I forget the punchline my eyes dart around in distress
If I’m gonna screw up the words to a song, at least let it be great
Cuz the chances are I played it enough that at least I'll make it out the gate
