Song title: Tell me why
by April Wine
Tell me why - Bruce version (7-Mar-2003)
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sittin’ on my own
Did you have to treat me so bad
All I do girl, is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Well if it’s somethin’ that I might have said or done
Tell me what girl, and I’ll apologize
If you don’t I really can’t go on
Holdin’ back the tears from my eyes
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cry, and why’d you lie to me
Well I beg you on my bended knees
If you'd only listen to my plea
'Cos I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with (you)
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Well I'm???
???on my knees
I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with (you)
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me Notes:
On 7-Mar-2003, in Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall, Bruce dedicated this "to all the bands that played in these rooms and inspired us"
Tell me why - Original by Wine
Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sittin’ here all alone
Did you have to treat me so bad
All I do girl, is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried baby
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
If it’s somethin’ that I might have said
Just tell me girl, and I’ll apologize
If you don’t I really can’t go on
Holdin’ back the tears, holdin’ back the tears from my eyes
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, baby
Just tell me why’d you cry, and why’d you lie to me
Well I beg you on my bended knees
Baby please please, listen to what I say
If there’s anything that I could do
Just tell me girl, cause I’m so in love with you
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, baby
Just tell me why’d you cry, and why’d you lie to me
