Oscar hammerstein ii / jerome kern Why was i born Why am i livin' What do i get What am i givin' Why do i want for things I dare not hope for What can i hope for I wish i knew Why do i try To draw you near me Why do i cry You never hear me I'm a poor fool But what can i do Oh baby why was i born To love you
