She's leaving home
She's leaving me alone
She no longer needs my lovin' anymore
She said it's better this way
You can go on your own
I'll go on my way
You know it hurts inside
I just can't take it
And as the tears go by
There's nothing I can do about it

Why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why you said goodbye
Tell me how, tell me how
Could I live without your love
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when
When are you coming back again
Comin' back again
Comin' back again to me...

Now that you're gone
I think of things we've done
And all of the happiness
We shared as one
You're name I always whisper
With hope that you'll hear it
Feel it just the same
I just can't understand
Can't think about it
That maybe in the end
It's you and me again

Why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why you said goodbye
Tell me how, tell me how
Could I live without your love
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when
When are you
Why, tell me how
Tell me when, tell me when
When are you comin' back
