Lena Horne — Why Was I Born? lyrics

Lyrics

Why was I born? Why am I living?
What do I get? What am I giving?
Why do I want a thing I daren’t hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to hold you near me Why do I cry? You never hear me
I’m a poor fool but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Why do I try to hold you near me Why, why do I cry? You never hear me
I’m a poor fool but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
