Just Tell Me Why Lyrics & Chords By Dee Dee Bridgewater

There is no one to tell her come in out of the rain
she's just a child who's trying so hard to ease the pain
and so she makes a wish then closes her eyes
grabbing a dream, she starts to fly
She's like a tattered doll you find in an alleyway
that someone played with then decided to throw away
she's much too young to be alone in the dark
selling her soul, breaking her heart
Just tell me why, can't you hear when I call your name?
Just tell me why, if you go then it's all in vain
you can't deny there's an anger inside of you
don't turn your back on me!
Just tell me why, can't you see that I'm by your side,
just tell me why, there's no reason for you to hide,
just tell me why, the past can be erased, the hurt can be replaced
just tell me why, you can't go it alone much longer
Won't you just trust in me?
Oh why, my child, tell me?
The first time that she tried, she thought it was such a thrill
but soon she found that her life was a living hell
She thought for sure she could escape misery
But she found out that her nightmare had become a reality
Can't you hear when I call your name?
Just tell, tell me why, if you go then it's all in vain
you can't deny there's an anger inside of you
don't turn your back on me!
Please tell me why, can't you see that I'm by your side
just tell, tell me why, there's no reason for you to hide
the past can be erased, the hurt can be replaced
don't fight it all alone, I'll help you get back home
just tell me why, let me help you just all again
you know that I am your friend
Ooooh yeah
Oooh, Just tell me why, just remember you're not alone
