You tell me that I should not cry
        You tell me all good things must die
        You ask me why I get upset
        You tell me that I will forget
        Tell me why.......

        You say I can't be blue for long
        You say I'll find new love that's strong
        You tell me she was not for me
        It's just the way love has to be
        Tell me why

        Why I cannot see her
        She won't let me see her
        Te-ell    te-ell
        Tell me why

        You tell me I will find my way
        Tomorrow won't be like today
        You tell me life was meant to be
        One-third good, two-thirds misery
        Tell me why
