[Verse 1:] Promises meant the world to me When they were plans of What our love would bring I couldn't wait for the time to see Your promises became reality But then one day things weren't the same I tried to figure out what changed Next day You weren't there with me A sense of loneliness I couldn't believe [Pre-Chorus:] You told me that you would always love me How could you break this promise to me, baby? So why did you have to leave? Me with the wrong impression Now all I do is question [Chorus:] Why Did you have to break my heart? (Break my heart) Why (why, why) Did our love fall apart, boy? (Boy) Why (Why) Did everything seem so right just (Ooh) Tell me baby, won't you tell me Why Did you give up on loving me? (Loving me) Why When you had everything you needed? (thing you needed, yeah) Why How did our love just disappear? Tell me baby, won't you tell me Why [Verse 2:] Can you explain Why you would up and leave When all seemed well between you and me Don't understand how you could let this be A life without you being here with me I can't believe that you are gone What could I have possibly done wrong I've never hurt Or caused any pain That would make you leave me this way Oh, baby [Repeat Pre-Chorus:] [Chorus:] Why (Why, ooh, yeah) Did you have to break my heart? Why Did our love fall apart, boy? (why, did it fall apart, boy?) Why Did everything seem so right just Tell me baby, won't you tell me Why (why) Did you give up on loving me? (baby) Why (tell me why) When you had everything you needed? Why (how am I) How did our love just disappear? (baby, please tell me) Tell me baby, won't you tell me Why Did you have to break my heart? (oo and why!) Why Did our love fall apart, boy? (our love just fall apart, boy) Why Did everything seem so right just (you gotta tell me, gotta tell me) Tell me baby, won't you tell me? Why (Oooh, why) Did you give up on loving me? (yeah) Why (oh why) When you had everything you needed? (yeah!) Why (why, yeah!) How did our love just disappear? Tell me baby, won't you tell me (woah, ooh!) Why [Bridge:] I had given my all to you Without knowing That one day soon (one day soon) You would take away from me (take away) What had meant the world to me (ooo) Didn't all the promises You made to me About our love mean anything? And I can't believe That you and me Are not to be So can you tell me [Repeat Chorus x2:]
