You think youre going nowhere
When youre walking down the street
Acting like you just dont care
When life could be so sweet
Why you wanna be like that
As if theres nothing new
Youre not fooling no one
Youre not even fooling you
So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes its 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]
Why not...take a crazy chance
Why not...do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not, why not
You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what youre told
You keep waiting where you are
For what youll never know
Lets just get into your car
And go, baby, go
[repeat chorus]
Oh, I could be the one for you
Oh, yeah...maybe yes, maybe no
It could be the thing to do
All Im saying is you got to let me know
Youll never get to heaven
Or even to l.a.
If you dont believe theres a way
Why not...take a star from the sky
Why not...spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But, why not? why not?
[repeat chorus]
