[Verse 1]
Oh why can't we be best friends anymore?
They say a friend ain't to be
Between a girl and a boy
I don't know who said it
Or why it got to be so wrong
Oh why don't you call?
Don't you care anymore?
It's not fair
Don't let 'em get you
It took us both and now I got to fix you
Well, I don't know how to fix you
You say it's just the way it is to be, and how so?

[Chorus]
Why
Is an awful lot of question
And I can't give me no answer
I keep wondering on

[Verse 2]
Oh, why can't you see that I'm not trying to be
No kind of bother I'm just trying
To save what was left between you and me
And where we left it before they took it
And took it all
And took off
Oh why did I let them drive a wedge between?
Well, I watched it and I didn't say nothing
And now I'm crying when I sleep
Now I'm sayin', I'm prayin', to that sweet melody in my soul
[Chorus]
Why
Is an awful lot of question
And I can't give me no answer
I keep wondering on

[Outro]
I wanna know, who said it
Who said it, oh Lord
