Lyrics
You're probably wondering why I'm here
And so am I
So am I
Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me bein' in this place (yeah)
That's just how much I marvel
At the lameness on your face
You rise each day the same old way
And join your friends out on the street
Spray your hair and think you're neat
I think your life is incomplete
But maybe that's not for me to say
They only pay me here to play
(I wanna hear Caravan with a drum sola!)
You're probably wondering why I'm here
And so am I
So am I
Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me starin' back at you (yeah)
That's just how much I question
The corny things you do
You paint your face and then you chase
To meet the gang where the action is
Stomp all night and drink your fizz
Roll your car and say, "Gee whiz!"
You tore a big hole in your convertible top
What will you tell your mom and pop?
(Mom, I tore a big hole in the convertible)
You're probably wondering why I'm here
And so am I
So am I
Just as much as you wonder
If I mean just what I say (yeah)
That's just how much I question
The social games you play
You told your mom you're stoked on Tom
And went for a cruise in Freddie's car
Tommy's asking where you are
You boogied all night in a cheesy bar
Plastic boots and plastic hat
And you think you know where it's at?
Yeah
You're probably wondering why I'm here
(Not that it makes a heck of a lot of a difference to ya!)
