You want to know why because everybody does   but it never seems to work out for us   all anyone ever knows is it's not all roses   and it seems like it never was   you want to know how this could be   but don't look at me   cause I don't know why I do waht I do   when it comes to you   don't ask me, ask Beth   I'll try to change myself for you cause I adore you   but it's looking like it's too late   and passive-aggressors and sloppy dressers   all build up the pressures you hate   I'd explain it all to you   and I'm trying to   but there's no way I can say   everything that's wrong in my world today   don't ask me, ask Beth      Ask Beth, maybe she can tell you   why we can never get anything right   ask Beth if she knows why time just goes by   and we're both crying tonight   ask Beth      These are the best years of our lives   and if one of us survives   he or she will refer to how wonderful they were   but for now I just don't know      why are we in agony?   will you please stop asking me   ask Beth
