Lyrics

Why Won't You Tell Me What

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

With you

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

With you

Sparkling eyes

You're trying to hide

I've seen those tears before I don't think I like them

Give me a sign

Some kinda sign

To bring me back around to your way of thinking

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

With you

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

With you

Wasting my time

My precious time

Whatever it is I wish you'd up and say it

Give me a sign

Some kinda sign

To bring me back around to your way of thinking

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

With you

Why won't you tell me what

Why won't you tell me what

What's going on

What's going on

With you
