(Verse)
[STEPHEN]
We're not so horribly plain
We're both completely insane
Something is wrong, but who can tell us what?
[MILITZA]
There's no accounting for taste
It seems a terrible waste
Nothing can help us. We have not
That vital spark we should have got
(Chorus)
[STEPHEN]
Why isn't it you?
Why must we miss
A chance like this
When chances are few?
You've got the size
Of eyes I idolize
Your arms invite a glamorous night
What am I to do?
[PHOEBE]
Why isn't it you?
You don't react
When I attract
What am I to do?
You've got the lips for me
The hips for me
The feet for me
The beat for me
[BOTH]
So tell me why, why isn't it you?
(Instrumental break)
(Chorus)
[STEPHEN]
Why isn't it you?
Why should we miss
A chance like this
When chances are few?
You've got the size
Of eyes I idolize
Your arms invite a glamorous night
What are we to do?
[PHOEBE]
Why isn't it you?
You don't react
When I attract
What am I to do?
You've got the lips for me
The hips for me
The feet for me
The beat for me
[BOTH]
So tell me why, why isn't it you?
