Why Did It Have To Be Me

Why Did It Have To Be Me? (SP1123) Kevin Lovell

OPENER

SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand
It's only natural, but why did it have to be me?
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE the ring
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
So you were looking ...
SWING and PROMENADE home
That's only natural, but why did it have to be me?

HEADS (Sides) PROMENADE and take her HALFWAY round
Walk in and SQUARE THRU 4 hands now
Go all the way, a RIGHT & LEFT THRU, turn the girl
VEER LEFT and FERRIS WHEEL
SQUARE THRU it's only THREE hands now
SWING the corner, PROMENADE on home
That's only natural, but why did it have to be me

MIDDLE BREAK

SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
You were so lonesome, you were blue
You couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
I always thought I knew the reason why
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE the ring
You only wanted a little love affair
Now you can see ...
SWING and PROMENADE
But baby, believe me, it's better, to forgive me

CLOSER

SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
You only wanted a little love affair
Now you can see, I'm beginning to care
But baby, believe me, it's better, to forgive me
FOUR LADIES CHAIN, you turn that girl
CHAIN HER right BACK home and PROMENADE all the way
Do da do da do da do da dooo
