Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
[Verse 2]
Well, I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me, oh, so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan
[Verse 3]
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
[Verse 4]
If it's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
[Verse 5]
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
[Verse 6]
Well, I beg you on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'Cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with you
[Verse 7]
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
