Why Christmas - Boyz II Men

Mike: hey, whats wrong squirt?

Wanya: I dont know man.

sometimes around this time of year I just get depressed.

Mike: man, this isnt the time of year to be depressed.

its the time to be happy

and

Giving, man.

Wanya: you know, sometimes I think about things that are happening in the world

today,

Things I didnt have.

I just feel like crying.

Mike: we all feel that way sometimes.

but, itll be alright.

Wanya: I just, I just wonder why.

Every day at this time of year

I wonder time and time again

Why are kids suffering?

All of the tears cause being caught in the crossfire (why?)

Somebody tell me why

As the joyous day comes along

The eldest feel theres something wrong

Hes looking for mom but shes not there

Kids are looking for reindeer in the air

She messed up again

Why?

My brother and my sister

They aint got no toys

What am I supposed to do When growing up for me wasnt joy?

Its gonna be a why christmas

Its gonna be, its gonna be a A why christmas

No one was there but grandma and her friends

A time of heartache is setting in Theres nothing I can do Just sit and feel pain run me through

I often wished they were never born

The thought of them not having no toys

Their little hearts were torn

I was young and I cried as well

I didnt have a job

But I prayed to the lord that thered be better days

Yes, he gave me a reason to live

He gave me a sign

But I still think to that day when

Brother and my Brother and my Brother and my Sister

(repeats a lot)

Chorus (repeats to fade out)
