Why'd you have to look like that?

 Yes I saw you have some new shoes

Well are they blues shoes or are they black?

Because one of them suits you

And the other one makes you look 

Like a cat

Well yes, nice to see you too

How do you like my new hat?

Well it could be from the top draw for sure

Or he fetched it from the back (of the store)

Well anyway, how do you do?

Oh, Why'd you have to look like that?


Yes it makes me feel so rich and then so poor

When I see you walking out of his front door

Because I know you're with him for sure

Or oh is it for the long haul? Baby tell me more

Why'd you have to look like that?


I could move to the other side of town

And you'd never see me kicking around

With a frown underneath my new hat in brown

And this top hat would have it's bottom turned down

Oh why'd you have to look like that?


Oh we fell out and he fell in

And I don't doubt that he'd like to win

But we've got about you've put me in a spin

Oh why'd have to look like that to begin


With or without, I need you like gin

I want to bake you like bread

In my heart's oven even

Because you've got dough eyes

That make me knead to grin

Oh Why'd you have to look like that?

Oh why'd you have to look like that?
