You think you're going nowhere   When you're walking down the street   Acting like you just don't care   When life could be so sweet   Why you wanna be like that   As if there's nothing new   You're not fooling no one   You're not even fooling you      So walk a little slower   And open up your eyes   Sometimes it's so hard to see   The good things passing by   There may never be a sign   No flashing neon light   Telling you to make your move   Or when the time is right      [chorus]   Why not...take a crazy chance   Why not...do a crazy dance   If you lose the moment   You might lose a lot   So why not, why not      You always dress in yellow   When you want to dress in gold   Instead of listening to your heart   You do just what you're told   You keep waiting where you are   For what you'll never know   Let's just get into your car   And go, baby, go      [repeat chorus]      Oh, I could be the one for you   Oh, yeah...maybe yes, maybe no   It could be the thing to do   All I'm saying is you got to let me know      You'll never get to heaven   Or even to l.a.   If you don't believe there's a way      Why not...take a star from the sky   Why not...spread your wings and fly   It might take a little   And it might take a lot   But, why not? why not?       [repeat chorus]
