(Why not)

You act like you don't know me

When you see me on the street

You're makin' like I turn you off

When I know you think I'm sweet

It don't have to be like that

I guess you're insecure.

If you say what's on your mind

I might answer 'sure'

So I walk a little slower

And I try to catch your eye.

Sometimes it's so hard to see

The good things passing by.

There may never be a sign,

No flashing neon light,

Telling you to make your move

Or when the time is right.

[Chorus]

(So) why not (why not)

Take a crazy chance

Why not (why not)

Do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment

You might lose a lot

So... why not

Why not

(Why not take a crazy chance)

(Why not take a crazy chance)

You always dress in yellow

When you wanna dress in gold.

Instead of listening to your heart

You do just what you're told.

You keep waiting where you are

For what you'll never know.

Let's just get into your car

And go, baby, go!

[Chorus]

Oh... oh

I could be the one for you

Oh... yeah

Maybe yes,

Maybe no.

Oh... oh

It could be the thing to do

What I'm saying is

You gotta let me know.

You'll never get to heaven or even to l.a.

If you don't believe there's a way...

Why not (why not)

Take a star from the sky (take a star from the sky)

Why not (why not)

Spread your wings and fly

It might take a little

And it might take a lot

But why not

Why not

[Chorus]

Why not (take a crazy chance)

Take a crazy chance

Why not (do a crazy dance)

Do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment

You might lose a lot

So... why not

Why not
