Ask Me Why

	A fine song, no complaint, but certainly this song stands apart from anything John Lennon ever wrote--there is no other song in his entire career even remotely like this one! I have the idea that when Brian Epstein outfitted his four scruffs in the matching suit-and-ties, Lennon's first response was to try to start writing songs in the style of Burt Bacharach rather than Chuck Berry... Listen to John when he sings the lyric "...my happiness still makes me cry"--he actually cries on the word "cry"!	Bruce Beatlefan	November 15, 2005

Lyrics

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry.
And in time, you'll understand the reason why,
If I cry,
It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe it's happened to me
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

I can't believe it's happened to me.
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.
