Tell Me Why

     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 (harmony)
     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 (harmony)
     When we tried, we tried (we tried)
     To make everything okay (oooh)
     Tell me why, oh why
     Did you feel you couldn't stay (harmony)
     When we could have stayed together
     But you wanted it this way (harmony)

     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 (harmony)
     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 (harmony)

     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 (harmony)
     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 (harmony)
     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 (harmony)
     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 (harmony)
     Tell me why, oh why
     Did you feel you couldn't stay (harmony)
     When we could have stayed together
     But you wanted it this way
