I Can’t Tell You Why Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

People fall apart, I can′t tell you why
People make mistakes, it comes as no surprise
That people break your heart, can't look you in the eyes
And people need forgivin′, I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why and I′ve been there
Don′t make light if you don't care
Because you just might fall and need some understanding

The world can be so cold, I can′t tell you why
It's hard to see it straight, with teardrops in your eye
You get pushed until you break, with no one by your side
The world can bring you down, I′ll tell you why

I'll tell you why and I′ve been there
Don't make light if you don't care
Because you just might fall and need some understanding


You got to share around some loving with each other
There comes a time when we all need it in our lives

People stand and cry, I can′t tell you why
And watch the world sail by, their oceans have run dry
Yeah, people hide their faces, they can′t look you in the eye
And people need forgivin', I′ll tell you why

I'll tell you why and I′ve been there
Don't make light if you don′t care
Because you just might fall and need some understanding

I'll tell you why, people need forgivin', it comes as no surprise
(I can′t tell you why) people sail the ocean and watch their ship go by
(I can′t tell you why) people hide their faces, they can't look you in the eye
(I can′t tell you why) people need forgivin', I can′t tell you why
Can't tell you why
Thank you
