Lord tell me why

I remember way back when

It seemed so long ago

We used to be so much in love

You couldn't let me go

Now you broke my heart

With another man

Why did we have to part

And go different ways

One of life's mysteries

The secret lies with him

(Chorus)

Lord tell me why

She gave up on me

I gave her my heart

But She did this to me

I'd do anything

To make it like it was

(Lead)

All my friends said she would go

I just had to show them

Our love could withstand

The charms of another man

Oh how wrong I was

Now she's with him

And I'm so alone

In this big house

Reminding me of you

Repeat (Chorus) lead

Oh how wrong I was

Now she's with him

And I'm so alone

In this big house

Reminding me of you

(Chorus)
