Tell Me Why Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jann Browne]
All night long I walk the floor
I don't think I can take much more
You're out running God knows where
I get the feeling you just don't care
[Verse 2: Jann Browne]
Tell me 'cause I need to know
'Cause if you do you never let it show
Baby if you're putting me down
Why am I hanging around
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
Well tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
[Verse 3: Jann Browne]
Sit down now we gotta talk this out
'Cause I'm beginning to have my doubts
I wanna stay in love with you but
You've got to give me a reason to
[Verse 4: Jann Browne]
Well I can only give so much
Now pretty soon I'm gonna give it up
Boy you gotta make it clear
What am I doing here
All night long I walk the floor
I don't think I can take much more
You're out running God knows where
I get the feeling you just don't care
[Verse 2: Jann Browne]
Tell me 'cause I need to know
'Cause if you do you never let it show
Baby if you're putting me down
Why am I hanging around
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
Well tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
[Verse 3: Jann Browne]
Sit down now we gotta talk this out
'Cause I'm beginning to have my doubts
I wanna stay in love with you but
You've got to give me a reason to
[Verse 4: Jann Browne]
Well I can only give so much
Now pretty soon I'm gonna give it up
Boy you gotta make it clear
What am I doing here
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
Now tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
[Bridge: Jann Browne]
Seems like you could try a little harder
Let me know you care
'Cause there ain't never been a time
When I haven't been there
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
So tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
Why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
Now tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
[Bridge: Jann Browne]
Seems like you could try a little harder
Let me know you care
'Cause there ain't never been a time
When I haven't been there
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
So tell me why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know
[Chorus: Jann Browne]
Why, why do you break my heart
Treat me like you do when I
Try, try so hard just to satisfy you baby
Why you wanna make me cry
I know I love you but I don't know why
