Why'd You Have To Do This To Me? Songtext
von The Great Crusades

Your letters telling me you′re OK
They misdiagnosed you, what can you say?
Your letters, they still arrive
And grow stranger every time

Envelopes filled with greasy napkins
You saved from a truck-stop where you were napping
Meaningful words cut from magazines
Like love, and lust, and dirty, and clean
Your lipstick smeared on paper shapes
Your rhyme's on a crooked line, such a crooked line

Why′d you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?


Your letters telling me what state you′re in
It was Indiana, now it's Michigan
You′re sure I wanna keep up with you
'Cause I lied so well and I lied so true
You couldn′t leave, well enough alone
No, you had to get away from home

Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?

I told you that I loved you
I lied through and through
I lied like a child
Like a helpless child

Little did you know today
I never threw a thing away
Photographs framed with packing tape
Your lipstick smeared on paper shapes
I claimed what had not been claimed
By any woman or any man, oh

Why′d you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?


Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?
Why'd you have to do this to me?
Why′d you have to do this to me?

I told you that I loved you
I lied through and through
I lied like a child
Like a helpless child
