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
