Song Lyrics

Girl's night out, drink in her hand
Don't know her name, or if she'd want to dance
With a guy like me, who just came here
To have a beer
And not fall in love

Why Not, Why Not
What could it hurt crossing this room
Why Not, Why Not
Might as well do it, got nothing to lose
But a chance in a lifetime, one in a million
Shot only if I tell her what I got on my mind
I won't know if I don't try
So Why Not

I'm not the type, to take a leap
of faith no I, would usually be
Against the wall, taking it all in
But she's got me wondering

Why Not, Why Not
What could it hurt crossing this room
Why Not, Why Not
Might as well do it, got nothing to lose
But a chance in a lifetime, one in a million
Shot only if I tell her what I got on my mind
I won't know if I don't try
So Why Not

Here I stand, scared to death
Maybe I'll catch her name
Soon as I catch my breath

Why Not, Why Not
What could it hurt crossing this room
Why Not, Why Not
Might as well do it, got nothing to lose (nothin to lose)
But a chance in a lifetime, one in a million
Shot only if I tell her what I got on my mind (oh my mind)
I won't know if I don't try
So Why Not, yeah
Why Not, woah

Yeah yeah
