Why Do You Want Him -- Green Day

I saw you standing alone  With a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone  Looks like he left you  Without a trace
Tears falling out of your eyes  He's living in a disguise
You've been feeling bad for so long  You wonder if it's right or wrong
Why Do You Want Him?  Why Do You Want Him?

Now many days have gone by  And you still just sit there and cry
You're feeling bad for yourself  His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love That's why push came to shove
You've been feeling bad for so long  You wonder if it's right or wrong
Why Do You Want Him?  Why Do You Want Him?

You find a way out. To throw it all the way  You sit there and pout..
You got someting to say  Why Do You Want Him?                                (sing365)

After his father died and his mother started dating a different man, Billie Joe wrote this to get his feelings out. It's a great example of the expressive songwriting that is characteristic of his songs.                                                       (songfacts.com)
