What's The Matter Songtext
I love this town you can see the stars at night
Even from downtown
âCause there are no city lights
This town was my biggest fan
âTil I was who I am
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
I love this town the moon is dancing on the waves
And in the bars half of them are underage
People let a lot slip by
When they look a lot alike
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
What if I am Black or Jew
Straight or queer mother of two
Run around in a hippie dress
Ride my bike in a leather vest
What's the matter
I love this town where I climbed the apple trees
And that was me cheering for the hometown team
I've got something to give
In this town where I want to live
So what's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be why be
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
Why be afraid
Even from downtown
âCause there are no city lights
This town was my biggest fan
âTil I was who I am
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
I love this town the moon is dancing on the waves
And in the bars half of them are underage
People let a lot slip by
When they look a lot alike
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
What if I am Black or Jew
Straight or queer mother of two
Run around in a hippie dress
Ride my bike in a leather vest
What's the matter
I love this town where I climbed the apple trees
And that was me cheering for the hometown team
I've got something to give
In this town where I want to live
So what's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why afraid of this girl
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be why be
What's the matter
What's the matter
All I ask is why be afraid of this world
Why be afraid
