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, 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

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

But for now I just don't know

Why are we in agony?

Will you please stop asking me

Ask Beth

Ask Beth

Ask Beth
