Ruth Etting and Helen Morgan - Why Was I Born?

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?
I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
