Lonnie Johnson - Tell Me Why (1946) lyrics

rate me

I wanna talk to you baby, please don’t walk away.

I wanna talk to you baby, please don’t walk away.

You have hurt me long enough, let’s fish in this cloud today.

Every time I come home, why is it you always gone?

Every time I come home, why is it you always gone?

If it’s what I think baby, the graveyard is where you belong.

I treat you just like a baby, give you all my love and my money too.

Treat you just like a baby, give you all my love then my money too.

It’s not happiness you want, you only want something new.

It hard to have someone to love you, when you feelin’ low and blue.

It hard to have someone to love you, when you feelin’ low and blue.

It’s better to be loved, than to have someone beat the devil out of you.

I love you darlin’, with a love that will never die.

I love you darlin’, with love that will never die.

But you gonna make me hate you, ‘cause I just can’t stand a lie.
