Cathy Dennis - Why lyrics

Why'd you want to do that to me
You treat me like a fool
Why, yes, you do, I want to know why
Why, I want to know why

Baby, baby, baby
I can't tell what's on your mind
You avoid the situation
Just trying to be kind
If you want to tell me something then, baby
Let me know
'cause the truth is often kinder than
The lies that follow, follow, follow

First you say you want me, then it's oh, no
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show
First you say you want me, then it's oh, no
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show, show

Why, if you love me
Are you treating me this way
I want to know why
I want to know why, if you love me
Do you say the things you say
I want to know why

Baby, baby, baby
Is there something I should know
I detect a changing of season
Your loving touch is cold
If you want to tell me something
Then say it to me now
'cause the truth is often kinder
Than the pain of doubt

First you say you want me, then it's oh, no
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show
First you say you want me, then it's oh, no
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show, show

Why, if you love me
Are you treating me this way
I want to know why
I want to know why, if you love me
Do you say the things you say
I want to know why

Why, if you love me
Are you treating me this way
I want to know why
I want to know why, if you love me
Do you say the things you say
I want to know why

Yes, I want to know why, baby
After all that we've been through
Tell me, tell me why i want to know why, why
Why, tell me why, tell me
I want to know why, tell me why, tell me
Tell me

Why, do you need me why, do you want me
I want to know why
Do you keep me not to tell me, why
That you love me

Why, do you need me why, do you want me
I want to know why
Do you keep me not to tell me, why
That you love me

Why, do you need me why, do you want me
I want to know why
Do you keep me not to tell me, why
That you love me

Why, do you need me why, do you want me
I want to know why
Do you keep me not to tell me, why
That you love me

Why, why, yeah
I want to know why, why, why, why, yeah
I want to know why, tell me, why, tell me

Why, why, why'd you treat me like a fool
I want to know why, why
Why, Tell me, why, tell me
I want to know why, why, baby
Let me say it to you
