I've traveled down this road before
It seems this time
But I'm not sure
Should I even try again
Try to believe
That there's someone there for me
Now that I'm alone
My heart needs to know
Why not me
(Why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself
To be who I was meant to be
Why not me
(Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream
Why not me
I wanna know
Can you tell me
Why not me
Could I be right
Could I wrong
To feel this way
For so long
Don't wanna give up who I am
I compromise just to please a man
I'm so confused
I'm tellin' you
Don't wanna sing the blues hey, hey
Why not me
(Why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself
To be who I was meant to be
Why not me
(Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream
Why not me
I need a man who's got his own
Someone who's sensitive and strong
Tell me will I have to wait
Will tomorrow be too late
Why not me
I wanna know, I need to know
Is it a crime to be myself
To be who I was meant to be
Why not me
(Why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find their dream
Why not me
I wanna know
I need to know
Can you tell me why
Everyone needs somebody who will be there for them
Yes they do
They really do
They really need
Someone, someone, there for them
I need someone to be there for me
Don't you know
I really need
I need to believe that there's someone
I need a man
Who's got his own
I need him strong
I need him now
Whoa yes I do
I really do
I wanna know
I really need him yes I do
Ooh
