TELL ME WHY (Lennon-McCartney) 1964 A throwaway up tempo number written by John, again, with an American girl group in mind. It was used during the concert sequence of the film A Hard Day's Night. 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 it's something that I said or done tell me what and I'll apologise If you don't a 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 begging on my bended knees if you'll only listen to my pleas If there is anything I can do 'Cause I really can't stand it I'm so in love with Tell me why you cried and why you lied to me Tell me why you cried and why you lied to me
