Ah ah ah ah ah ah (Why not) You act like you don't know me When you see me on the street Making like I turn you off When I know you think I'm sweet It don't have to be like that I guess you're insecure If you say what's on your mind I'm an in for sure So I walk a little slower And I try to catch your eye Sometimes it's so hard to see The good things passing by There may never be a sign No flashing neon lights Telling you to make your move Or when the time is right, so Why not (why not) Take a crazy chance Why not (why not) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So, why not, why not Why not take a crazy chance? Why not take a crazy chance? 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 But what you'll never know Let's just get into your car And go baby go, so Why not (why not) Take a crazy chance Why not (why not) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So, why not, why not Oh, I could be the one for you Oh ya, maybe yes, maybe no Oh, it could be the thing to do What I'm saying is you gotta let me know, oh Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah You'll never get to heaven Or even to L.A. If you don't believe there's a way Why not (why not) Take a star from the sky Why not (why not) Spread your wings and fly It might take a little And it might take a lot But, why not, why not Why not (take a crazy chance) Take a crazy chance Why not (do a crazy dance) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So, why not, why not
