Why Not Lyrics

Edit Lyrics Think you’re going nowhereWhen you’re walking down the streetActing like you just don’t careWhen life could be so sweetWhy you wanna be like thatCause if there’s nothing newYou’re not fooling no oneYou’re not even fooling youSo walk a little slowerAnd open up your eyesSometimes it’s so hard to seeThe good things passing byThere might never be a signNo flashing neon lightTelling you to make your move When the time is right[CHORUS]Why notTake a crazy chanceWhy notDo a crazy danceIf you lose a momentYou might lose a lotSo why notWhy notWhy notTake a crazy chanceWhy notTake a crazy chanceYou always dress in yellowWhen you wanna dress in goldInstead of listening to your heartYou do just what you’re toldYou keep waiting where you areWhat you’ll never knowLet’s just get into your carAnd go baby go[CHORUS]Oh I could be the one for youOh, yeahMaybe yes, maybe noOhIt could be the thing to doWhat I'm saying isYou gotta let me knowYou’ll never get to heavenOr even to a laneIf you don’t believe there’s a wayWhy notTake a star from the skyWhy notSpread your wings and flyIt might take a littleAnd it might take a lotBut why notWhy not[CHORUS] New!

Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I really like this song. It's saying to not let other peoples opinions interfere with what you want to do.

I don't think this is one of her better songs. Most of her songs are more in depth.

I can't believe I like Hilary Duff. Oh well!
