歌詞

[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
My girl indeed said I love you so tenderly
Then came the day she said the words goodbye
If she only knew how she changed my life
She was my life, the world to me
But when she left, she took the best of me
[Chorus]
Oh, why'd she have to leave me? Why?
Why'd she have to say goodbye?
Oh, I wanna know now
I wanna know why
Girl, why don't you come on home, girl?
Come on home, so I can have my baby now
I've been crying, crying, now listen
[Verse 2]
A shadow of a man, that's all I am, ha
Since that girl's been gone
Was it me? Oh, what could it be?
Only yesterday, I was king on a throne
Her whereabouts, I wished I knew
I want her to know that without her my life is blue
[Chorus]
Now why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why'd she have to leave me? Why'd she have to say goodbye?
And, whoa, I wanna know now
I wanna know why
Girl, why don't you come on home, girl?
Girl, come on home, so I can have my baby now
I can't stand it here without you no longer, listen
[Verse 3]
She didn't have to go
That girl knew how much I loved her so
She was the light of my world
The one and only girl for me, oh
[Chorus]
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why'd she have to leave me? Why'd she have to say goodbye?
Oh, I wanna know, baby
I wanna know why
Girl, why don't you come on home, girl?
Girl, come on home, so I can have my baby now
I can't stand it without you
[Bridge]
Since you've been gone, my world is slowly turning to dust
So you see, finding you, I must
[Chorus]
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why'd she have to leave me? Why'd she have to say goodbye?
I wanna know, oh
I wanna know why
Girl, why don't you come on home, girl?
Girl, come on home, so I can have my baby now
I can't stand it without you, oh
[Outro]
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why'd she have to leave me? Why'd she have to say goodbye?
Oh, whoa
I wanna know why
Girl, ooh
Girl, come on home, so I can have my baby now
