Tell Me Why

Looking back on my yesterday
The feeling that we shared left me breathlessly
Ooh, I never thought a cloud of doubt would get in our way
All we said and did, a crazy melody, I can't relay

When it comes to your lovin', my soul gotta have it
It's tearin' us apart but I will surrender
Breaking my heart, won't you love me tender?
Before you take away my world forever (tell me why)

Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we baby
Whoo, if you never (let's work it out between ourselves)
Honey, if you just do this for me (tell me why)

Baby, why, tell me, tell me, why (why can't we work it out between ourselves)
Can't you see our love is about to die?
I don't understand, baby (let's work it out between ourselves)
(Baby, work it out, baby, work it out, baby, work it out)

Some old jealous love, keeps us fighting all the time, hmm
The rumors spread so quick, in the dark of the night, ooh
You meet me, hmm, meet me on some street, hmm
With a friend, you say it's best
But you change face, lovin' on yet, hmm

To build me up when I was falling down
Your love ain't never, never let me down
Through the hard times, baby, we got by
But, now you've got me asking you that question, why (tell me why)

Tell me why (why, tell me)
Why can't we? (Work it out between ourselves)
No, I don't understand it, I don't understand baby
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
You don't have to do it for me, but do it for the sake of the kids, baby
(Work it out between ourselves)
(We can't help with nothing else, let's work it out between ourselves)
(Baby, work it out, baby, work it out, baby, work it out)

When it comes to your lovin', my soul gotta have it
It's tearing us apart, girl I will surrender
You keep breakin' my heart, just love me tender
Before you take away my world forever (tell me why, tell me)

Ooh, baby (why can't we work it out onto ourselves)
I-I-I-I-I (we can't love with someone else)
Oh, I don't understand, baby (let's work it out between ourselves)
If you never do nothing else, just do this for me (tell me why, tell me)
Do it for you, baby (why can't we work it out onto ourselves)
It's all about me and you (we can't love with someone else)

Baby, let's try to work it out between ourselves (let's work it out between ourselves)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (tell me why, tell me)
I wanna know why, why (why can't we work it out onto ourselves)
I can see our love about to die
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
Whoa, you already care for me

Tell me why, tell me why (why can't we work it out onto ourselves)
Girl, you're breakin' my heart, you're breakin' my heart
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
I wanna know why
Why, why, why, why (why can't we work it out onto ourselves)

All we gotta do is just sit down, take a little time and talk it over
It's all about, it's all about me and you
Tell me why?
Why, why, why, why, baby
