Answer My Question
Dillinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, my love
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray
Please answer me my love
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
