Tell Me Why
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me oh so bad
All I do is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I'm beggin' on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:31 * NEW *
Sounds like "Did you have to leave me oh so bad" - this is a vocal crossup between "treat me oh so bad" and "leave me oh so sad".
1:42
Edit, or dropout, between "so in love with you/Tell me why". The level seems to drop sharply, and come in a little late ...
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
