Tell You Why
Pietasters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why

Each day when I awake I thank my lucky star
Was a time when I had no peace of mind now there you are
Now I got you and I never need anymore
So it's time to throw those lies out the door

For a moment or two I throw some modest on you
See if you stick around anymore
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why

Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
No need for excuses no need to lie
Now it's time to tell you if you don't mind

Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why




Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
