Tell Me Why

I took a chance I took a shot

And you may think I'm bullet-proof but I'm not

You took a swing I took it hard

And down here from the ground I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you love me and cut me down

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

And here's to you and your temper

Yes I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

You can write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day

Well I get so confused and frustrated forget

What I'm tryin' to say ohh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You tell me that you want me then push me around

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

Why do you hafta make me feel small

So you can feel whole inside

Why do you hafta put down my dreams

So you're the only thing on my mind

Well I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feelin' like I don't know you

You tell me that you want me and cut me down

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You ask me for my love then you push me around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

Why tell me why

I take a step back and let you go

I told you I'm not bullet-proof now you know
