Tell Me Why Lyrics

Tell me why
Tell me why
Why is it that you cry
Why is it you tell me lies
Why is it you want to say goodbye
Think I should know why oh whoa
Think I should know why oh whoa-oh

Tell me why
Tell me why
Why is it I still love you
After all you put me through
No don't call me a fool
I still love you whoa-oh
I still love you whoa-oh-oh

Tell me why
Tell me why
Why is it that you must go
Even though I love you so
Why's that
Oh I don't know
Tell me why whoa-oh
Tell me why whoa-oh
Tell me why before I cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm pretty sure it's 'Well, I'm sad' rather than 'Why's that'.
