Текст песни Why Did She Have To Leave Me (Why Did She Have To Go) - The Temptations

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Once upon a time, my girl and me
Shared our love so tenderly
Then came the day she said the words "Good-bye"
If she only knew how she changed my life
She was my life, the world to me
But when she left, she took the best of me

Oh, why did she have to leave me?
Why (why did she have to say goodbye?)
Oh (I wanna know why), I wanna know now
Girl (girl come home)
Why don′t you come on home, girl (so I can dry my weeping eyes)?
I've been cryin′ cryin', now listen

A shadow of man, that's all I am
Since that girl′s been gone
Was it me? Oh, what could it be?
Only yesterday I was king on the throne
Her whereabouts, I wished I knew
I want her to know that without her my life is blue

Now why
Why-why-why-why-why, why (why did she have to leave me?)
(Why did she have to say goodbye?)
And woah (I wanna know why), I want to know now
Girl
Why don′t you come on home, girl (come home, so I can dry my weeping eyes)?
I can't stand it here without you no longer, listen

She didn′t have to go
That girl knew how much I love her so
She was the light in my world
The one and only girl, for me, oh oh-oh-oh

Why (why did she have to leave me?)
Why-why-why-why-why, why
(Why did she have to say goodbye?)
Oh (I wanna know why), I want to know, baby
Girl (girl come home)
Why don't you come on home, girl (so I can dry my weeping eyes?)
I can′t stand it without you

Since you've been gone
My world is slowly turning to dust
So you see, find you I must

Why-why-why-why-why, why (why did she have to leave me?)
(Why did she have to say goodbye?)
(I wanna know why) I want to know, oh
Girl (girl come home)
Why don′t you come on home, girl (so I can dry my weeping eyes)?
I can't stand it here without you

Why-why-why-why-why, why (why did she have to leave me?)
(Why did she have to say goodbye?)
Oh, whoa
Girl (girl come home, so I can dry my weeping eyes)
I can't stand it baby, baby

Why-why-why-why-why, why (why did she have to leave me, why did she have to say goodbye?)
