Tell Me Why

You fill my hunger, sometimes sweet - sometimes foul
I'll take my chances, like a stray cat on the prowl
I'm on a shore line, between anger and pain
But I would be lost
Without your ball, without your chain
Without that ball and chain

Tell me the reasons why
I need you so bad
Tell me the reasons why
I'm bangin' my head
Tell me the reasons why
Girl tell me why

I'm burned by the spark from your heart
Scream out your name, it echos in the dark
One touch of passion, keeps me reachin' for more
I can't move, till you knock down my door

Tell me why, you're makin' me hold on - hold on
Tell me why, I can never leave you alone
Just tell me why, you're makin' me hold on - so long
Tell me why, tell me why girl

Tell me
Till the walls come down, I'll still be standin'
I'll still be fightin', I'll still be holdin' on
I'm never gonna let you go

Tell me the reasons why
I need you so bad
Tell me the reasons why
I'm bangin' my head
Tell me the reasons why
Why I hang my head and cry

Tell me why girl
Tell me, I will never leave you alone
Tell me why, you make me hold on - so long
Tell me why, I'll never leave you alone
Tell me why, you make me hold on - hold on
Just tell me why
Just tell me why, you're makin' me hold on - so long
Yeah, yeah
Just tell me why, you're makin' me hold on
Tell me why, I'll never leave you alone
