Lyrics:


Why'd you wanna do that to me
You treat me like a fool

Yes you do

Yes you do

Baby baby baby
I can tell what's on your mind
You'll avoid the situation
Just tryin' to be kind
If you want to tell me something
Then baby let me know

Cos the truth is often kinder
Than the lies that follow
First you say you want me
Then you're so low
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show

First you say you want me
Then you're so low
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show

Show

Why if you love me
Are you treating me this was
I wanna know why
I wanna know why
If you love me
Do you say the thing you say
I wanna know why

Baby baby baby
Is there something I should know
I detect a changin' of season
Your lovin' touch is cold

If you want to tell me something
Then say it to me now
Cos the truth is often kinder
Than the pain of doubt
First you say you want me
Then you're so low
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show

First you say you want me
Then you're so low
Then you say you need me
Shame you don't show

Why if you love me
Are you treating me this was
I wanna know why
I wanna know why
If you love me
Do you say the thing you say
I wanna know why

Why if you love me
Are you treating me this was
I wanna know why
I wanna know why
If you love me
Do you say the thing you say
I wanna know why

Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Ooh ooh

Yes I wanna know why baby
After all that we've been through
Tell me tell me
Why
I wanna know why
Why
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

Do you need me
Do you want me
Do you keep me
Not to tell me that you love me

Do you need me
Do you want me
Do you keep me
Not to tell me that you love me

Do you need me
Do you want me
Do you keep me
Not to tell me that you love me

Do you need me
Do you want me
Do you keep me
Not to tell me that you love me

Why

Yeah

Why

Yeah

Tell me
Tell me

Why'd you treat me like a fool

Ooooooh

Tell me
Tell me
Baby let me say it to you

Yeah yeah

Review


Why? is among the best tracks on
Into The Skyline, a fun poppy track which bounces along. The Radio Edit improves further on the song, making it a lot lighter than the version on the album, while the R&B Edit seems to make the song "heavier", though the Rap track at the end doesn't seem to fit very well... The video for the song is brilliant, funny and just plain good to watch.
Rating... 4/5

Take me back to the index.
Take me back to the Discography.
Take me back to the listing for When Dreams Turn To Dust.
Take me on to the listing for You Lied To Me.
