[Verse]
Why is Daddy not here?
Are you crying?
Why?
Does he still love me?
Will you take care of me?
If you both love me so
Why don't you love each other?
Mummy's gone missing
Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
Why? was written by Elvis Costello & Ian Belton.
Why? was produced by Kevin Killen & Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet.
Elvis Costello released Why? on Tue Jan 19 1993.
From Elvis Costello’s liner notes:
The text of ‘Why?’ was derived from Ian Belton’s version of a child’s note. I added the final repeated lines and the music.
