U ah ah yea ah yea ah ya ya

You think you're goin' nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet

But why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothin' new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you

So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

[Chorus:]

(So) Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Why not take a crazy chance
(Why not take a crazy chance)

You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
If you keep waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Let's just get into your car
And go, baby, go

(So) Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Ooh, I could be the one for you
Ooh yeah, maybe yes, maybe no
Ooh, it could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is you gotta let me know

U ah ah yea ah yea ah ya ya

U ah ah yea ah yea ah ya ya

You'll never get to heaven
Or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way

Why not (Why not)
Take yourself from the sky
Why not (Why not)
Spread your wings and fly
Oh, it might take a little
And it might take a lot
But why not
Why not

Why not (take a crazy chance)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (do a crazy dance)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not
