I smile, I laugh and enjoy,
But I still dunno why?
Tears slide down my eye.
They say I'm a hoyden,
But I still dunno why?
Loneliness stays by my side.
Some say I'm fickle and fey,
But I still dunno why?
Not a sneer comes my way.
You say I'm whimsical and clumsy,
But I still dunno why?
People laugh when they pass by.
I coax and cajole and clog,
But I still dunno why?
Not a single soul answers my why.
Maybe I'm both sweet and sour,
But I still dunno why?
They all have a sly smile when I pass by.
