I came home this evenin' and found you were leavin'
And I didn't know what to do
You packed all your things and gave me your ring

Said, honey, I'm leavin' for good

I'll never know why you'd tell me good-bye

And leave me so lonely and blue
For you should have no reason to go
For, Darlin', I've always been true


Chorus
Tell me why would you desert me

The way your doin' tonight
Why would you wanna hurt me
Darlin', why say good-bye

Tell me why

Our love had been strong cause I had held on

And now my hearts breakin' in two
I thought you loved me but now I can see
I never meant nothin' to you


I love you, my dear, and I can't stand to hear
That your love words were just dirty lies

Now what did I do to make you untrue
Oh, Darlin', just please tell me why


Chorus
