Tell Me Why |
| I took a chance, I took a shot |
| And you might think I’m bulletproof, but I’m not |
| You took a swing, I took it hard |
| And down here from the ground I see who you are |
| I’m sick and tired of your attitude |
| I’m feeling like I don’t know you |
| You tell me that you love me then you cut me down |
| And I need you like a heartbeat |
| But you know you got a mean streak |
| Makes me run for cover when you’re around |
| And here’s to you and your temper |
| Yes, I remember what you said last night |
| And I know that you see what you’re doing to me |
| Tell me why… |
| You could write a book on how |
| To ruin someone’s perfect day |
| Well I get so confused and frustrated |
| Forget what I’m trying to say, oh |
| I’m sick and tired of your reasons |
| I got no one to believe in |
| You tell me that you want me, then push me around |
| And I need you like a heartbeat |
| But you know you got a mean streak |
| Makes me run for cover when you’re around |
| Here’s to you and your temper |
| Yes, I remember what you said last night |
| And I know that you see what you’re doing to me |
| Tell me why… |
| Why do you have to make me feel small |
| So you can feel whole inside |
| Why do you have to put down my dreams |
| So you’re the only thing on my mind |
| I’m sick and tired of your attitude |
| I’m feeling like I don’t know you |
| You tell me that you want me then cut me down |
| I’m sick and tired of your reasons |
| I’ve got no one to believe in |
| You ask me for my love then you push me around |
| Here’s to you and your temper |
| Yes, I remember what you said last night |
| And I know that you see what you’re doing to me |
| Tell me why why, tell me why |
| I take a step back, let you go |
| I told you I’m not bulletproof |
| Now you know |
