[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 I'm gon' fix you
They say, "Brittany, that's just the way it is to be"
Why so?

[Chorus]
"Why"
Is an awful lot of questions
And I can't get 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? No, I'm just trying
To save what was left between you and me
And where we left it before they took it
You know they took it all and took off
Oh, why did I let them drive a wedgе between us?
Well, I watched it and I didn't say nothing
Now I'm crying in my sleep
Now I'm sayin', I'm prayin' to that sweet mеlody in my soul
[Chorus]
"Why"
Well, it's an awful lot of question
You know it is, ooh
And if I can't get me no answer
I keep wondering on

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