I'll Tell You Why That Is

Now you may see two happy people loving together

I'll tell you why that is

Or some little girl looks real good in a real tight sweater

I will tell you why that is

Now your pal from prison just wrote you a real fine letter

I'll tell you why that is

The diamond ring looks real good on my pinky finger

I will tell you, tell me why that is

Natalie Orange belongs in jail

I can tell you why that is

Some people take some people's life

I will tell you why that's right

When the girls come looking for love

They look for the guys in the band

I can tell you why that is

I'm having a ball being the know-it-all

Standing on top of my little scale

That's why I am who I am, baby

'Cause I know all these things

So step right up and shake the hand of the man who is the know-it-all

I know a lot of things

Besides that, I can sing

How come you think I got the name Know It All, Crackhead?

You think that's just a fluke?

I don't think so

Could be

I know why everything's happening

Stick around and I'll tell you why

Now you see some guys out on the street

And they're just wild about chicks

I'll tell you why that is

Some guys, they ain't boys, just like to go out and play dirty tricks

But I can tell you why that is

You know why that is

Jesus Christ and God and all them cats, they don't know everything

Besides that, they can't even sing

Rich men get all the women and fun

Would you believe you're looking at one?

That's why I am who I am, baby

'Cause I know all these things

I'm willing to listen to you if you're willing to listen to me

That's for sure

But you know you gotta sing it for me

You gotta get up and sing
