WHY
Thought of no tomorrow The pain, tears and sorrow And you never told me why The way you cheated And mistreated I could never ask you why
Well, I’m gonna find out I’m gonna find out What’s been messing up your mind Messing up your mind
Well, I’ve been through Some changes Now I’m leaving While me mind rearranges Why I’m grieving I don’t mean that you hurt me Or deceived me For I know that you’re there And you need me You sure do But I hope you can’t see how it is I can’t stay any longer I’ve got to go
Is there any true reason Or anything I can explain Can’t we talk about it baby And get together again You see I have the feeling That this isn’t the end And I feel knowing On you I depend I depend on you
I’m gonna find out, yes I am I’m gonna find out What it is that’s been Messing up your mind
Well, I said that I love you And I need you Then it means I am yours Yes, I belong to you
But I just can’t be certain That you love me too Well, I’ve got to know If I can believe in you Please believe my heart is yours I can’t stay any longer I’ve got to go ----------------------------------------------------- This version has slightly different lyrics than 'The Lansdowne Tapes' version
