You Tell Me:Johnny Cash. DNC on SUN Records in 1959. #1. Tell me why she left me I'll tell you why I cried. Tell you why I stayed around tell me why she lied. I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she said goodbye. Tell me why she left me, I'll tell you why I cried. You tell me, then I'll tell you. BRIDGE: I'll tell you why I love her, tell me why she said goodbye. Tell me why she left me, I'll tell you why I cried. INTERLUDE: #2. Tell me why I'm lonely, I'll tell why I'm alone. Tell you why I stayed around, tell me why she's gone. I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she was untrue. Tell me why she left me, and I'll tell you why I'm blue. You tell me, then I'll tell you. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
