I just wanted to lay down and die  
 You don't know the pain that I feel inside  
 Could this be a dream or is it real tonight  
 Tell me why  oh why  
  
 It hurts inside  for real  a lie  
 Can you tell me what went wrong with our love  
 We laughed  we cried  
 Through battles  we survived  
 Our love was sure as the stars above  
 Oh  tell me why  
  
 Repeat 1  
  
 You said we'd be together forever  
 They say true love never dies  
 You said that I was all you needed  
 Why did we have to say goodbye  
 The situation is killing me  
 But you had to step out on me  
 With another man, I don't understand  
 I saw you holding his hand  
  
 Repeat 1  
  
 I remember the first time that I laid eyes on you  
 You were the only one for me, I thought I knew  
 Now my heart is filled with pain  
 Cuz our love was in vain  
 Tell me why, oh why, please tell me why  
  
 Repeat 1  
  
 2 - I need to know, please tell me  
 Why did you have to leave me  
 I need your love, please tell me  
 Baby tell me  
  
 Repeat 2 while:  
 I need to know right now  
 Won't you tell me  
 Can I testify right now  
  
 Girl I used to do the things you wanted me to do  
 I cooked your breakfast, I rubbed your back  
 But you had to step out on me  
  
 And with another man  
 Why did you do this to me  
 Please tell me, please tell me  
  
 I deserve better than this  
 Won't you tell me  
 What did I do wrong  
 Oh, tell me why why why  
 I get lonely without you baby
