"Why Not Me" lyrics - PHYLLIS HYMAN

I've traveled down this road before
It seems this time that I'm not sure
Should I even try again
Try to believe that there's someone there for me
Now that I'm alone
My heart needs to know
Why not me (why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself (myself)
To be who I was meant to be (ooh)
Why not me (why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (to find that dream)
Why not me
I want to know
Can you tell me
Why not me
Could I be right
Could I be wrong
To feel this way
For so long (for so long)
Don't want to give up who I am
I couple lies just to please a man
I'm so confused
I'm telling you
Don't want to sing the blues
Why not me (why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself (myself)
To be who I was meant to be (ooh)
Why not me (why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (to find that dream)
Why not me
I need a man whose got his own
Someone whose sensitive and strong
Tell me will I have to wait
Will tomorrow be too late
Why not me (why not me)
I want to know
I need to know
(Why not me)
Is it a crime to be myself (myself)
To be who I was meant to be (ooh)
Why not me (why not me)
Doesn't everyone deserve to find that dream (to find that dream)
Why not me
I want to know
I need to know (why not me)
Can you tell me why
Everybody needs someone who will be there for them
(Why not me)
Yes they do
They really do
They really need someone
Someone they-for that
(Why not me)
I need someone to be there for me
Don't you know I really need
I need to believe that there's someone (why not me)
I need a man whose got his own
I need him strong (why not me)
I need him now
Wo
Yes I do, I really do
I want to know
Yes I do
