Why Lyrics

Lily Allen

Why aren't I one of these interesting people who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive and to never have wasted the day,
To go for long walks, have well-informed talks, in a non-confrontational way,
Why aren't I one of these interesting people and why won't you stay?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fear.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see,
All I need is to change,
Not too much I still want to be me,
Everyone looks the same.

Why is my phone full of so many numbers and why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy or maybe I've no friends at all,
When I'm watching TV they're all out nicking E's and well obviously I'm appalled.
Why is my phone full of so many numbers and why don't you call?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fear.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see,
All I need is to change,
Not too much I still want to be me,
Everyone looks the same.

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fear.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see,
All I need is to change,
Not too much I still want to be me,
Everyone looks the same.
