    Another good one is Why Do I Lie? (Luscious Jackson).

    Oh also, I really like Why Can't I Be You? (The Cure).

    (I did a search for "Why" in my iTunes and have been listening to some of the 23 results. I love playlists organized along a random axis like this.)

    I would have definitely voted for The Cure's "Why Can't I be You" had it been an option, but I like Annie Lenox too, so it all worked out.

    Also the classic "Why do fools fall in love?" by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
    Oh, and Hank Williams "Why don't you love me?"
    And an old band of mine (called Pazuzu) had a song called "I don't know why you don't leave me".

    I don't know why you don't leave me,
    I'm trying to make you you gotta believe me,
    Leaving dead birds under your bed,
    Cutting the hair from you sleeping head.
    (He blames it on the poltergeist,
    But really it's because he's not that nice.)

    It's just that I don't want to be a bad dude.
    That's why I've been poisoning your food.
    And if god forbid your life should end,
    Well I'd get a lot of sympathy from all your friends.
    (He blames it on the poltergeist,
    But really it's because he's not that nice.)

    And I'm messing with your mind,
    'Cause I want you to go,
    And I don't have the balls to say
    I don't love you any more.
