Tell Me Why

I took a chance, I took a shot

And you may think I'm bullet-proof, but I'm not

You took a swing, I took it hard

And down here from the ground I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you love me and then cut me down (?)

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

That makes me run for cover when you're around

And here's to you and your temper

You'll still remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

You can write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day

Well I get so confused and frustrated forget what I'm tryin' to say, ohh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You tell me that you want me then push me around

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

That makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

You'll still remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

Why, do you have to make me feel small?

So you can feel whole inside

Why, do you have to put down my dreams?

So you're the only thing on my mind

Well I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feelin like I don't know you

You tell me that you want me then cut me down (?)

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You ask me for my love then you push me around

Here's to you and your temper

l still remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

Why, tell me why

I take a step back and let you go

I told you I'm not bullet-proof, now you know
