Why Was I Born? Aretha Franklin

[Verse 1]
Why was I born?
Why am I living?
What do I get?
What am I giving?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? (What can I hope for?)
(I wish I knew)

[Verse 2]
Why do I try
To draw you near me?
Why do I cry?
You never, never ever hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?

[Verse 3]
Why do I try
To draw you near me?
And tell me, why do I cry?
You never, ever, ever hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born?

[Outro]
Why was I born?
Why was I born
To love you?
