I took a chance, I took a shot
And you may think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground, I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude,
I am feeling like I don't know you
You told me that you love me,
Then cut me down!

And I need you like a heartbeat,
But don't you know, you've got a meanstreak
Makes me run for cover when you're around!

So here's to you, and your temper
Yourself.
Yes, I remember what you said last ni-i-ight
And I know, that you see, what you're doing to me...
Tell Me Why!

You probably could write a book on
How to ruin someone's... perfect... day-ay-ay-ay-y-ay-ay
Well, I get so confused and frustrated,
Forget what I am trying to say

Oh oh oh,

I'm sick and tired of your damn reasons,
I got no one else to believe in
You told me that you want me, then push me 'round!

And I need you like a heartbeat,
But don't you know, you've got a meanstreak
Makes me run for cover when you're around,

So here's to you and your temper...
Yourself.
Yes, I remember what you said last ni-i-ight
And I know, that you see, what you're doing to me,
Tell Me Why!

Why-i-i-i,
Do you have to make me feel small,
So you can feel whole inside...
Why-i-i-i,
Do you have to put down my dreams?
So you're the only thing on my mind!

But I'm so sick and tired or your attitude,
I am feeling like I don't know you,
You told me that you love me... Then push me around!

I'm sick and tired of your damn reasons,
I have got no one else to believe in,
You told me that you want me, then cut me down...

So here is too you and your temper...
Yourself.
I know you remember what you said last night!
And I know, that you see, What you're dong to me,
Tell me why! Tell Me Why! Tell me Why!
