“Tell Me Why” by Bobby Womack
Composers: Bobby Womack and Jim Ford

Lyrics:
Looking back on my yesterdays
The feeling that we shared, left me breathlessly
Ooh hoo, I never thought a cloud of doubt would get in our way
All we said and did, a crazy melody, I can't re-play
Mmm hmm, when it comes to your lovin', my soul gotta have it
It's tearin' us apart but I will surrender
Breakin’ my heart, won't you love me tender
Before you take away my world forever

Tell me why, tell me why?
(work it out between ourselves)
Why can't we, baby?
(If we never do nothing else)
Ooh if we never
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
Honey, if you just do this for me
(Tell me why can't we)
Tell me why, tell me, tell me why?
(work it out between ourselves)
Can't you see our love is about to die?
(If we never do nothing else)
I don't understand, baby
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
(We can work it out, we can work it out, we can work it out)
Ooooh!

Some old jealous love, keeps us fighting all the time
Hmmm
The rumors spread so quick in the dark of the night
Woo woo oooh, ha
You meet me,
Hmmm
You meet me on some street, uh
Hmmm
With a friend you say is best but you can’t face love alone yet
Oooh woo hoo
You build me up when I was falling down
Your love ain't never, never let me down
Through the hard times, baby, we got by
But now you've got me asking you that question why

Tell me why, why can't we?
(work it out between ourselves)
No, I don't understand it, I don't understand baby
(If we never do nothing else)
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
You don't have to do it for me, but do it for the sake of the kids
(Tell me why can't we work it out between ourselves)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(If we never do nothing else)
Ooh, baby
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
(We can work it out, we can work it out, we can work it out)

When it comes to your lovin'
Soul got to have it
It’s tearing us apart
Girl I will surrender
You keep breakin' my heart
Just love me tender
Before you take away my world forever

(Tell me why can't we)
Ooh baby
(work it out between ourselves)
I, I, I, ah…ah ha
(If we never do nothing else)
Oh, I don't understand, baby
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
If you never do nothing else just do this for me
(Tell me why can't we)
Do it for you, baby
(work it out between ourselves)
It’s all about me and you
(If we never do nothing else)
Baby
Let's try to work it out between ourselves
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Wanna know why?
(Tell me why can't we)
Why…ay-ay-ay-ay-ay…….?
(work it out between ourselves)
I can see our love about to die
(If we never do nothing else)
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
Whoa!
(Tell me why can't we)
Tell me why, tell me why?
(work it out between ourselves)
Girl, you're breakin' my heart
(If we never do nothing else)
You're breakin' my heart
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
I, I, I, I, I, I…ah…
(Tell me why can't we)
I wanna know why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
(work it out between ourselves)
All we got ta do is just sit down
(If we never do nothing else)
Take a little time and talk it over
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
It's all about, it's all about me and you
Tell me why?!?
(Tell me why can't we)
Why?
(work it out between ourselves)
Why?
(If we never do nothing else)
Why baby?
(Let's work it out between ourselves)
I, I just don’t understand
