Tell Me Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Compliments are the gifts, guess you didn't mean it
Girl, what you got me going through
Didn't I hold you down when you were there, mid-road
Never asked anything from you
I ain't through with you so don't you try and walk away
It ain't like I want you back but there's some things left to say
Baby tell me why, why, why, why
Did you do me like that, do me like that
I'm the same old guy, catching you back when
When we were just friends, let me sing it again
Tell me why, why, if we didn't have a fight
I was faithful to you girl, baby didn't I hit it right
(Oh!) Listen, why, why, why did you do me like that, do me like that
You make me weak in the knees (I grab them sheets)
But did he do it like me
Did he make you call out his name, did you want it again (Again)
Now that you crossed that line I just can't look at you the same
It ain't like I want you back but there's some things left to say
Baby tell me why, why, why, why
Did you do me like that, do me like that
I'm the same old guy, catching you back when
When we were just friends, let me sing it again
Tell me why, why, if we didn't have a fight
I was faithful to you girl, baby didn't I hit it right
(Oh!) Listen, why, why, why did you do me like that, do me like that
Crying for me is a waste of time
It's a little too late, I made up my mind baby
So this is goodbye
Baby tell me why, why, why, why
Did you do me like that, do me like that
I'm the same old guy, catching you back when
When we were just friends, let me sing it again
Tell me why, why, if we didn't have a fight
I was faithful to you girl, baby didn't I hit it right
(Oh!) Listen, why, why, why did you do me like that, do me like that
