Tell Me Why
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics

So tell, tell me why would a girl
Asking why a girl who is open-hearted, cool, and smart would be interested in the singer

So open-hearted, cool and smart
The girl is described as someone who is kind, easy-going, and intelligent

And also uncharted
The girl is unique and different from others

Tell me why would a girl
The artist is repeating the question, emphasizing their confusion

Be, oh, so?
The artist is unsure why the girl is interested in them

With me - flat broke, ? joke
The singer feels insecure due to their lack of financial success and worries that they are not good enough for the girl

Tell me why
The singer is still searching for answers

See me lone
The artist feels isolated and alone in a crowd of people

In the crowd
The artist is surrounded by others, yet still feels alone

Lost my?
The artist has lost something important but the meaning is unclear

Tell, tell me why
Repeating the question again for emphasis

Your school and town
Referring to the girl's life and hometown

Face like a clown
The singer feels awkward and uncomfortable in social situations

Laying on my?, but ship sinks, so I'm down
The singer is struggling to keep afloat and worrying that things are falling apart

You are so kind, you are so nice? boy I ever met in my life
The singer is complimenting the girl for being a great person

Sweat me off my feet, never telling lies
The girl is attractive and honest, which the artist appreciates

Always on time, I'm sick of shitty guys? to a crime,? a lie? like a MRI
The artist is tired of unreliable and dishonest men, and is grateful for the girl's honesty

I'm so damn sigh
The singer is expressing frustration and disappointment

'Cause I'm yours and I have to make?
The singer feels committed to the girl and wants to work things out

All the reasons why
The artist wants to know why the girl is interested in them

Keep my heart running, running, running
The artist is expressing that their emotions are heightened and intense

Tell me why would you be with a girl
The artist is now questioning why the girl would be interested in them

So lame, I'm just?
The singer feels insecure about themselves and considers themselves uninteresting

And fully?, talking different?
The artist is expressing that they feel like an outsider in social situations

Whether weather is a pain,
The singer is expressing their dislike for unpredictable situations

Sick of all those magazines illuminate?
The singer is tired of society's unrealistic beauty standards

See me alone
The singer feels isolated and disconnected from others

Gonna? down
The artist feels like they are failing

Making big smiles just?
The artist feels like they are faking their emotions

You are so kind, you are so nice? girl I ever met in my life
The singer is now complimenting the girl again, describing her as a great person

Sweat me off my feet,?
The girl is attractive and impresses the singer

Always on time, I'm sick of girls who lie
The artist appreciates the girl's honesty and is tired of people who are dishonest

Hard doing crime, I saw it a lot
The artist has seen a lot of dishonesty and crime, and is admiring the girl's honesty

Call me?
The artist is being vague in their language

I'm so damn sigh
The singer is feeling frustrated and disappointed

'Cause I'm yours and I have to make? tonight
The artist is committed to the girl and wants to work things out

Keep me so high
The singer's emotions are intense and strong

Oi!
