\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tell Me Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes you can be so sweet.<\/p>\n

Then you can be just so discreet.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

You tell me \u201cLet\u2019s go see a show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then you say that you have to go.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

Every time you go.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

I have to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Often, you tell me that I\u2019m your man.<\/p>\n

Then, when I call, you have other plans.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

You say you love having me around.<\/p>\n

Next you\u2019re nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

Every time you go.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

I have to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You say to take you at your word.<\/p>\n

You tell me not to be so absurd.<\/p>\n

I want to know.<\/p>\n

Then you\u2019re lovingly sweet.<\/p>\n

You sweep me off my feet.<\/p>\n

I want to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

Every time you go.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

I have to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me true. Is there another man?<\/p>\n

Why won\u2019t you tell me, if you can?<\/p>\n

I need to know.<\/p>\n

You say to trust you. It\u2019s for the best.<\/p>\n

Why can\u2019t you tell me? Why must I guess?<\/p>\n

I need to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

Every time you go.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?<\/p>\n

Tell me why I must cry?<\/p>\n

I have to know.<\/p>\n

Tell me why?—Tell me, tell me, tell me why??<\/p>\n
