R: Tell me why - - you cried,
and why you lied - - to me.
Tell me why - - you cried,
and why you lied - - to me.

1. Well I gave you everything I had,
but you left me sitting on my own.
Did you have to treat me oh so bad,
all I do is hang my head and moan.

R: Tell me why...

2. If it's something that I've said or done,
tell me what and I'll apologize.
If you don't I really can't go on,
holding back these tears in my eyes.

R: Tell me why...

3. Well I beg you on my bended knees,
if you'll only listen to my pleas.
Is there anything I can do?
'Cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you.

R: Tell me why - - you cried,
and why you lied - - to me.
Tell me why - - you cried,
and why you lied - - to me!
