Why [Alternate RCA Studios Version][Alternate Take][*] by The Byrds

You keep sayin' no to her
Since she was a baby
You keep sayin' no to her
Not even maybe

Why?
Why?

You say there's a limit there
She can't go past that
She don't believe you
She don't think that's where it's at

Why?
Why?

You say she can't change that
It's the way you've always done it
She don't care about that
She thinks you've just begun it

Why?
Why?

You say it's a dead old world
Cold and unforgiving
I don't know where you live
But you're not living

Why?
Why?

You keep sayin' no to her
Since she was a baby
You keep sayin' no to her
Not even maybe

Why?
Why?
