Tell Me Why Lyrics - Melanie

Spice Girls, Darkchild, Let's Dance 

Oooh 

We could have had it all 

But you turned your back 

We started with dreams 

We started a team 

But you weren't as true as you always seemed 

You promised to love 

No matter what 

Yet you turned your back and walked out on me 

What made you think 

That without me 

Your life would be so much better but now you see (oh-oh, but now you see) 

That without me 

Your hopes and dreams (your hopes and your dreams) 

Will never be as good as what you had with me 

Tell me why, oh why (so tell me why) 

Did we end up this way 

When we tried, we tried (we tried) 

To make everything okay (oooh) 

Tell me why, oh why 

Did you feel you couldn't stay 

When we could have stayed together 

But you wanted it this way 

You never thought 

That I would find out 

All of the things you said about us 

When you're the one who 

Decided to 

Erase all our plans and say you approved 

What made you think 

That without me 

Your life would be so much better but now you see (so much 

better, but now you see) 

That without me (without me) 

Your hopes and dreams (they will never) 

Will never be as good as what you had with me (had with me) 

Tell me why, oh why (tell me why) 

Did we end up this way (did we end up this why) 

When we tried, we tried (when we tried) 

To make everything okay (yes we did) 

Tell me why, oh why 

Did you feel you couldn't stay (did you feel you couldn't stay) 

When we could have stayed together (we could have stayed) 

But you wanted it this way 

Tell me why, oh why (did we end up this way) 

Did we end up this way (I thought it was okay) 

When we tried, we tried 

To make everything okay (we tried, tried, tried so hard) 

Tell me why, oh why 

Did you feel you couldn't stay (but it was you who wanted to leave) 

When we could have stayed together 

But you wanted it this way 

Now tell me was it 

Your plan all along 

To try and use me, and then let go 

Now where is the trust 

We had between us 

I guess that you, never played by the rules 

Can you tell me 

Tell me why, oh why 

Did we end up this way 

When we tried, we tried 

To make everything okay (we tried, we tried again) 

Tell me why, oh why (yes we did) 

Did you feel you couldn't stay 

When we could have stayed together 

(you felt you couldn't stay, but you wanted it this way) 

But you wanted it this way 

Tell me why, oh why (oh tell me why) 

Did we end up this way 

When we tried, we tried (we always tried again) 

To make everything okay (we always tried again) 

Tell me why, oh why (somebody tell me why) 

Did you feel you couldn't stay 

When we could have stayed together 

But you wanted it this way (you wanted this way) 

Tell me why, oh why (whoa-oh tell me why) 

Did we end up this way (yeah-yeah-yeah) 

When we tried, we tried 

To make everything okay 

Tell me why, oh why 

Did you feel you couldn't stay 

When we could have stayed together 

But you wanted it this way
