¿Por Qué Será?

Because now people talk to me who never talked to me before,
if in the past they ignored me and made fun of me;
because now I have to help those who never helped me,
if they didn't support me when I needed it;
because women who never looked at me now cling to me,
they flirt, blow kisses, and give themselves to me;
because those who were with me want to come back again
and ask when my next video is;
because neighbors who used to call the police on me
now have my melody on their radio;
because neighbors who hated me greet me with affection
and say they've known me since I was a child;
because people pretend to be my friends,
so others can see them hanging out with me;
because those I grew up with and those I've been hanging out with
get upset when they see me progressing;
because people become my enemies for no reason,
if they've never dealt with me in their life;
because if I'm serious, they say I'm stuck up
and if I'm friendly, they say I'm conceited;
because if I go to church, they think I'm faking it
and if I don't go, then they call me an atheist;
because it bothers people to see me where I am,
today, if I'm just being myself.
And it says...
Chorus:
Why is it that people change in a moment,
and are very attentive to my money and my fame;
because people worse than me come to criticize me,
and want me to be how they want me to be;
because this world is so difficult, so unpredictable,
it's impossible to please everyone,
I know many are bothered to see me where I am
but I'm just being myself.
Because people who said I was going nowhere,
are now hooked on this music;
because people who said my hair was weird
are saying Eddie do it for me and I'll pay you;
because people who criticized my style and my songs
now want me to be in their productions;
because people hire you, negotiate the price,
and when you go to collect, they dodge you;
because if I have a hundred women they say I'm a player,
and if I don't, they say I'm a loser;
because if I smoke and drink they say I'm a drunk,
and if I don't, then I'm not manly enough;
because if I gain weight they think it's because I do nothing,
that I enjoy life, and that I'm lazy;
because if I lose weight they say I'm living a bad life,
and maybe I'm dying of AIDS;
because older people meddle in my business,
even though their kids are involved in shady stuff;
because older people criticize my clothes,
even though they did the same thing in the sixties;
because this world is so difficult, so unpredictable,
it's impossible to please everyone;
why did I write this song,
maybe not with my mind but definitely with my heart.
And it says...
