Lyrics:

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-y-y

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-y-y

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-y-y
