Tell Me Why Songtext
von Spice Girls

Spice Girls, Darkchild
Let′s dance

Ooh-ooh-ooh
We could have had it all
But you turned your back

It started with dreams
It started a team
But you weren't as true as you always seem
You promised to love
No matter what
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me

What made you think that, without me
Your life would be so much better?
But now you see (but now you see)
That without me your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me


So tell me why, oh, why
Did we end up this way?
When we tried, we try
To make everything okay (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tell me why, oh, why
Did you feel you couldn′t stay?
But we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way

You never thought
That I would find out
All of the things you said about us
When you're the one who
Decided to
Erase all our plans and said you are through

What made you think that, without me
Your life would be so much better? (So much better)
But now you see (but now you see)
That without me (without me) your hopes and dreams (they will never)
Will never be as good as what you had with me (had with me)

Tell me why, oh, why (tell me why)
Did we end up this way? (Did we end up this way?)
When we try, we try (when we try)
To make everything okay (yes, we did)
Tell me why, oh, why
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
But we could have stayed together (we could have)
But you wanted it this way (oh, whoa, whoa)


Tell me why, oh, why (did we end up this way?)
Did we end up this way? (I thought it was okay)
And we try, we try
To make everything okay (we tried, we tried so hard)
Tell me why, oh, why
Did you feel you couldn′t stay? (It was you who wanted to leave)
But we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way

Now tell me was it
Your plan all along
To try and use me
And then let go
Now where is the trust
We had between us
I guess that you never played by the rules

(Come on, yeah)
(Let′s dance, come on, uh, uh)
(Come on, come on, whoo!)
(Like that, like that, uh, uh)
(Spice Girls, uh, uh)
(Darkchild, uh, uh)
(2000, uh, uh)
Can you tell me?

Tell me why, oh, why
Did we end up this way? (Did we end up this way?)
When we try, we try
To make everything okay (we tried and tried again)
Tell me why, oh why (yes, we did)
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
But we could have stayed together (thought you could′ve stayed)
But you wanted it this way (just tell me why)

Tell me why, oh why
Did we end up this way?
When we try, we try (we always try again)
To make everything okay (we always try again)
Tell me why, oh why (somebody tell me why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
But we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way (you wanted it this way)

Tell me why, oh, why (oh, tell me why)
Did we end up this way? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
When we try, we try
To make everything okay
Tell me why, oh, why
Did you feel you couldn′t stay?
But we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
