Tell Me Why
Jamai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were my friend,you were my one and only,I was in love with you,
and now you're gone away. I don't understand,never was I this lonely.
And you're in love with him,at least that's what you say.

And tell me why,why is it when he is not around,you think of me,why
can't you see? We still belong together.
And tell me now,does he ever hold you like I do.I know it's true,and
soon you too.Baby we still belong together.

Baby soon, yeah.

You're still the one,I can't see why that would change.You're my
addiction.You and him,it feels so strange.

And tell me now,why is it when he is not around,you think of me,why
can't you see.We still belong together.
And tell me now,does he ever hold you like I do.I know it's true,and
soon you too.Baby we still belong together.

Do you miss me, like I'm missing you.Now tell me,does he ever hold
you like I do.Whaoh.

And tell me why,why is it when he is not around,you think of me,why
can't you see.We still belong together.
And tell me now,does he ever hold you like I do.I know it's true,and
soon you too.Baby we still belong together.





oohh whaoh, yeah.
We still belong together.
