Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Spice Girls, Darkchild, let's dance)
[Verse 2]
Ooh
We could have had it all
But you turned your back
[Verse 3]
It started with dreams, we started a team
But you weren't as true as you always seemed
You promised to love no matter what
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
[Verse 4]
What made you think that without me
Your life would be so much better? But now you see
That without me your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me
[Verse 5]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
[Verse 6]
You never thought that I would find out
All of the things you said about us
When you're the one who decided to
Erase all our plans and say you are through
[Verse 7]
What made you think that without me
Your life would be so much better? But now you see
That without me your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me
[Verse 8]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
[Verse 9]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
[Verse 10]
Now tell me, was it your plan all along
To try and use me and then let go?
Now where is the trust we had between us
I guess that you never played by the rules
[Verse 11]
Come on, yeah, let's dance, come on, uh, uh
Come on, uh huh, woo! Like that, uh-uh, like that
Uh, uh, Spice Girls, uh, uh, Darkchild
Uh, uh, 2000, uh, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 12]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
[Verse 13]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
[Verse 14]
Tell me why oh why did we end up this way?
When we tried, we tried to make everything okay
Tell me why oh why did you feel you couldn't stay?
When we could have stayed together, but you wanted it this way
