Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me why, why do you treat me so bad, so bad
When you're the best friend a man ever had?
Tell me why, why, why do you make me so mad, yeah so mad
When you're the best friend a man ever had?
[Verse 2]
Well, I wake up in the morning, I'm still dreamin' 'bout you
I tell you pretty babe, I'm blue
Wake up in the evening, I'm still screamin' out
Over you, over you
[Verse 3]
Well, tell me why, why, why do you treat me so bad, so bad
When you're the best friend a man ever had?
[Verse 4]
Well, I wake up in the morning, I'm still dreamin' 'bout you
I tell you, pretty baby, I'm blue
Wake up in the evening, I'm still screamin' out
Over you, over you
[Verse 5]
Tell me why, why, why do you make me so sad, so sad
When you're the best friend a man has ever had?
[Verse 6]
Oh
Well, I wake up in the morning, I'm still dreamin' 'bout you
I tell you pretty babe, I'm blue
Wake up in the evening, I'm still screamin' out
Over you, over you
[Verse 7]
Tell me why, why, why do you treat me so bad, so bad
When you're the best friend a man ever had?
When you're the best friend a man could ever have?
Written by: Linda McCartney, Paul McCartney
