Tell me why…
Oh don’t tell me…
He’s so strange… so strange…
Nobody really knows why…
Verse 1
He looks that way every day
Acts that way every day
Nobody really knows why
But something about him stands apart from the others
Like a wall built around him somewhere inside
So tell me why — tell me why
Oh don’t tell me, don’t tell me
He told me to Look into the mirror
See yourself looking back at you
Are you happy? look @ your face
Or disappointed? choose happy or disappointed
Which one fits you best?
Cause I’m always happy
Even if I look disappointed to you
Call me sleepy
Call me dreaming
Whatever…
I’m just being me
Hook
Tell me why — tell me why
I just told you why
Tell me why
get that spirit of lust out of my ear
I told you all that smoking pill popping drink a lot of whiskey snorting that cocaine drinking all that beer all in my face I'm not seeing you Ilike that I'm not going to bed with your spirit lust
I can’t tell you more than that
It ain’t meant for you
To interfere with what I think
And who I am I'm not isolating anyone
Don’t ask questions like that
Don’t ask questions like that
Come on… come on… come on…
Don’t ask no questions
Just don’t ask no questions
Verse 2
Do you care about me
I see you all the time
Is that something you’d rather not talk
about right now?
Do I have your attention? Now
Or am I distracting you?
No… you are distracting yourself
Cause you keep trying to climb inside my head
This ain’t about you
You should be handling your own life instead
I’m just breathing in the air
Taking in the scenery
Look over past that tree
See those kids playing?
See how happy they are?
That’s what makes me smile
Because when they are happy — I’m happy too
It takes me back to my youth
Out of all the darkness in this world
Their innocence still shines through
I ain’t tripping over kids
I’m using them as an example for you
That little boy… that little girl inside you
Still trying to recognize who you became
But somewhere along the way
You turned into a, entity within
Bridge

Verse 3
I’m minding my own business
Trying to have a peaceful beautiful day
And I thank you very much
Anyway… it’s time for me to go
Because you don’t know me.
