Tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry?

Wasn't it you who told me there'll be no other
And that you'll stay with me forever more
Wasn't it you who made all those promises
That you'll never walk through the door

Tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry?

There's no time to sit down and worry
There's no time to sit down and cry
Stand upon your feet, be strong, take it like a man
Teach the young ones, help them to understand

Tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry?

Wasn't it you who say I needed you
Wasn't it you who ask me to take you back
It's just a matter of time, 'cause what you're doing
It's just a matter of time, 'cause what you're doing

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry?
Tell me why, tell me why

There's no time to sit down and worry
There's no time to sit down and cry
Stand upon your feet, be strong, take it like a man

Tell me why, tell me why
Why did you make me cry
