Tell Me Why

Lennon/McCartney, released on A Hard Day's Night 1964

Lead singer: John, © 1964 Northern Songs

.

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 everything 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 I 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'm beggin' 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

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me
