Bakit Pa? Lyrics
Jessa Zaragoza
Lyrics
Parang 'di ko yata kaya
Pag sa buhay ko'y wala ka
Aanhin ang pag-ibig kung puso ay nag-iisa
Sinong aking tatawagin
Sinong aking hahanapin
Sino ang magpupuno sa 'king paglalambing
Bakit ka pa nakita
bakit pa nakilala
Kung ang puso ko ay iiwan mo lang at sasaktan
kung siya'y higit sa akin
naro'n man ang pagdaramdam
nito ay aking kakayanin
repeat 1st verse
repeat adlib
kung siya'y higit sa akin
naro'n man ang pagdaramdam
nito ay aking kakayanin
repeat 2x
ito ay aking kakayanin
