[Verse 1] If you leave me
Leave me guessing darling
Then I guess you’re not for me
When you’re talking
Talking with an old friend
And you decide you must be free
[Chorus 1] Tell me why, why woman
Can we leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Did you give up so easily?
[Verse 2] When you’re looking
Looking for some heat now
And I’m as cold as cold can be
And you’re talking
Talking about a change now
But those changes aren’t with me
[Chorus 2] Tell me why, why woman
Can we just leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Can we just be happy?
[Bridge] Better leave it alone
Let it work out by itself
My friends keep telling me, no
Why she’s not with nobody else
Oh but I don’t know
[Chorus 3] Tell me why, why woman
Can we just leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Just stick around and work it out with me
