I’m a rebel
I’ve been on a dance with the devil
So how’d I get up to your level
You’re an angel sent from heaven down to me
I’m rough around the edges
You’re a snapshot of perfection
I was heading in the wrong direction
I was reckless
Now I just got one question
Why me
Out of everybody baby
Why me
You could have picked anybody
Why me
When I see you looking at me
I gotta ask
What did I do
To get to be the one you gave your heart to
Walk up in a party on my arm
Who would have thought
You would wanna wake up every day beside me
Baby why me
I remember night one
Looking around for the right one
Saw you sitting there said what I’m done
And I walked over
Even though you’re out of my league
You were diamonds in the sky
You’re all-American pretty
I’m a one horse town
First smile you gave me I was thinking it then
And I’m still thinking it now
Why me
Out of everybody baby
Why me
You could have picked anybody
Why me
When I see you looking at me
I gotta ask
What did I do
To get to be the one you gave your heart to
Walk up in a party on my arm
Who would have thought
You would wanna wake up every day beside me
Baby why me
Yeah baby why me
Baby why me
Why me
What did I do right
Why me
Kissing you goodnight
You say you’ll never let me go
Oh it’s crazy girl I guess I’ll never know
Why me
Out of everybody baby
Why me
You could have picked anybody
Why me
When I see you looking at me
I gotta ask
What did I do
To get to be the one you gave your heart to
Walk up in a party on my arm
Who would have thought
You would wanna wake up every day beside me
Baby why me
