Tell me why, though I try to forget Tell me why, why I think of you yet I know I'll never be free What has happened to me? Tell me why, when we danced until three Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see I never dreamed of romance Never gave it a chance When I think of how you looked that day In your gown of silk and lace Should have known the day you came my way That this was the time and the place Tell me why I keep fooling my heart When I know it was love from the start Why don't we give it a try? If you know, tell me why Tell me why I keep fooling my heart When I know it was love from the start Why don't we give it a try? If you know, tell me why Tell me. Tell me why
