You Ask Why - Because I Said So
You ask why? Because I said so!
Ever hear that when you were young?
Dad answered that way when he’s mad
And he did it with a sharp tongue
Why do I have to do that now?
You ask why? Because I said so!
Of what value is that response?
If you explain; then they’ll know
I became a lot like my folks
So when challenged by my daughters
You ask why? Because I said so!
I know those are stupid orders
My kids now have kids of their own
And they explains thing as they go
I’ve never heard one of them say
You ask why? Because I said so!
