Miss Saigon movie - Why God Why? lyrics
rate me<br>
[KIM leads CHRIS out of the Club, and into a tiny cubicle,]<br>
[which has in it only a bed, a table, and a small window overlooking]<br>
[the moonlit city. Later in the night, CHRIS is dressed and]<br>
[standing at the window. KIM is asleep. Outside, Saigon still bustles.]<br>
<br>
[CHRIS]<br>
Why does Saigon never sleep at night? <br>
Why does this girl smell of orange trees? <br>
How can I feel good when nothing's right? <br>
Why is she cool when there is no breeze? <br>
Vietnam <br>
You don't give answers, do you friend? <br>
Just questions that don't ever end <br>
Why God? Why today? <br>
I'm all through here, on my way <br>
There's nothing left here that I'll miss <br>
Why send me now a night like this? <br>
Who is the girl in this rusty bed? <br>
Why am I back in a filthy room? <br>
Why is her voice ringing in my head? <br>
Why am I high on her cheap perfume? <br>
Vietnam <br>
Hey look I mean you no offense <br>
But why does nothing here make sense? <br>
Why God? Show your hand <br>
Why can't one guy understand? <br>
I've been with girls who knew much more <br>
I never felt confused before <br>
Why me? What's your plan? <br>
I can't help her, no one can <br>
I liked my mem'ries as they were <br>
But now I'll leave rememb'ring her <br>
<br>
[CHRIS leaves some money on a table and goes out into the street.]<br>
[CHRIS is accosted by Vietnamese who beg for help leaving the country.]<br>
[He pushes them.]<br>
<br>
When I went home before <br>
No one talked of the war <br>
What they knew from TV <br>
Didn't have a thing to do with me <br>
I went back and re-upped <br>
Sure Saigon is corrupt <br>
It felt better to be <br>
Here driving for the embassy <br>
'Cause here if you can pull a string <br>
A guy like me lives like a king <br>
Just as long as you don't believe anything <br>
<br>
[CHRIS stops, then goes back into KIM'S room.]<br>
<br>
Why God? Why this face? <br>
Why such beauty in this place? <br>
I liked my mem'ries as they were <br>
But now I'll leave rememb'ring her <br>
Just her<br>
<br>
