I Wanna Know Why Lyrics

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you


Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through


I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Try to make a fool outta of me


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta of me


Swing low
Sweet cherry o
When a strange love showed me the way


Ya see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin' on for the play


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool outta of me


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta of me


E. Poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad


Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the best thing he ever had


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool outta of me


I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta of me


Oh play rough
Can't get enough
So they try to make a fool out of me, lordy


Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me

This is the best, and most under rated song aerosmith ever wrote. This just shows how stupid people are, since no one has commented on it yet.

I got to hear this song just some time ago, so I guess I'm not stupid. Good song. But you're right, juice11, more aero fans needed, on the page.I'm sure there are loads of fans who don't know about this site.

this is the only really good song on this album, the onlt one close to it is sight for sore eyes

@ac/aero I strongly disagree with you. Draw The Line is an eternal rock classic, Kings and Qeeens is great and Milc-Cow Blues is also a fantastic cover. You were being too harsh...

I hate how you never hear these songs on the radio. No they play

"Dream On" (great song over done) "Walk This Way" (Good but Tired of it.) and well, you know.

I agree with that. I hate that sh*t

Cover art for I Wanna Know Why lyrics by Aerosmith

ac/aero, i strongly disagree with what you said. the Draw The Line album was excellent start from finish. Aerosmith is my favorite band... Critical Mass is probably my favorite off that album. This is probably the last amazing album they put out. Night in the Ruts was next and even that was good. Its probably bc i love all aerosmith up till Night in the Ruts. I found there later pop era to be too soft for me.
