Just Tell Me Why
Cassandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why
(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 is 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
(And 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 is 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
If you know, why don't you tell me why
