Tell Me Why

Average song rating A remarkable performance in that the melody and lyrics of this song are far from memorable. It is possible to imagine any of several performers creating this song...but it is IMpossible to imagine anyone doing to this song what the Beatles did...John's ripping vocal, the unison voices in the chorus, the surprising falsetto in the final verse.

Lyrics

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

Well I gave you ev'rything I had,
But you left me sitting on my own,
Did you have to treat me oh so bad,
All I do is hang my head and moan.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

If there's something I have said or done,
Tell me what and I'll apologize,
If you don't really can't go on,
Holding back these tears in my eyes.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

Well I beg you on my bended knees,
If you'll only listen to my pleas,
Is there anything I can do,
'cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with you.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.
