¿Por Qué Tan Triste?

Why so sad?
You weren't meant for me,
You see, you weren't meant for me,
Maybe it was for the best,
I didn't have the status.

How can I give you
The life you live today
In that society
That never dominated me.

And I can see you and almost feel your pain,
There's something not adding up in your story.

And if you followed
Every golden rule,
Every advice from your nosy grandma,
If you married the girl you were supposed to
And if you followed,
And if you followed
Why so sad,
Why so sad.

Life took us
Each to their own place,
Yours was power,
Mine was happiness.

In a Mercedes Benz
I see you cruising through the city
Looking for something that you'll never find,
Never find again.

And I can see you and almost feel your pain,
There's something not adding up in your story.

And if you followed
Every golden rule,
Every advice from your nosy grandma,
If you married the chick you were supposed to
And if you followed,
And if you followed
Why so sad,
Why so sad.

Tell me the truth,
So much money for happiness.

And if you followed
Every golden rule
And today the well-dressed ladies respect you,
If your wealth is evident in your gaze
And if you followed,
And if you followed
Why so sad,
Why so sad,
And if you followed
Why so sad.
