Spice Girls - Tell Me Why

[ Emma | Geri | Melanie B | Melanie C | Victoria | All ]

Spice Girls, Darkchild

Let’s dance

Ooh, 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
Your life would be so much better (oh oh)

But now you see (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
When we tried, we tried (we tried)
To make everything okay (ooh)

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

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
Your life would be so much better (so much better)

But now you see (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 (this way)

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
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
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
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

Tell me why, oh why
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed togetherBut you wanted it this way
