Tell me why you're messing around
Tell me why you're messing around

We were happy, as a matter of fact
Everything was going right, we just started a family
That's why it's hard to believe the things I heard about you
You were running around town, chasing all the young girls down

Now I'm seeing myself, the things you did are true
And there's no reason why you should need someone new
I never denied you my love, I gave you all of me
So I'd really like to know why you're doing this to me

Tell me
Tell me why you're messing around
Tell me
Tell me why you're messing around

It takes a lot of courage to face the fact
That I'm losing someone I love a lot
You are my love, my life, baby, why you hurt me?
Can't you see I don't want you to go?

So let me know, as long as you want me
I will always be there waiting for you, my dear
It's up to you, you do what you've got to do
But before you go, tell me what I want to know

Tell me
Tell me why you're messing around
Tell me, tell me
Tell me why you're messing around

Tell me
Tell me

I gave you all my love
So why do this to me?
I don't think those girls are better
How much better can they be?

Tell me what they're doing for you
That you feel I cannot do
And I'll show you that I can
I can do much better too

I've got to know, I want to know
Tell me why you're messing around
I've got to know, why you do me so
I've got to know, tell me, tell me

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

Tell me, tell me
Tell me why you're messing around
Tell me
Tell me why you're messing around

I've got to know
Tell me why you're messing around
Tell me
Tell me why you're messing around

No, no, no
