| Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
| Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
|
| In the beginning, it was you and me |
| The love we shared was so complete |
| Until your friends got in the way |
| Started determining the things you say |
| I been down for you all along |
| But I can't stay when it feels so wrong |
| Sitting by the phone late at night |
| You care more about your stupid nights (Boy, why?) |
|
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| You used to call me, you used to hold me tight |
| And do the things I like |
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| I really wanna stay but you must change your ways |
|
| You say that you, you gotta keep it real |
| Don't that include how I feel? |
| Don't wanna ask you to make a choice |
| 'Cause I won't win against your boys |
| But it's my time to be demanding |
| And I need your understanding |
| 'Cause I refuse to hold on when I feel the love you had for me is gone |
|
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| You used to call me, you used to hold me tight |
| And do the things I like (Tell me, tell me why?) |
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| I really wanna stay but you must change your ways |
|
| Boy, how do you expect our love to grow? |
| I can't take it no more |
| But I don't wanna go |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, wow |
| Look at how you've treated me |
| Can't you see you're hurting me? |
| Tell me, why you gotta be so ghetto? |
| Look at how you've treated me |
| Can't you see you're hurting me? |
| Tell me, why you gotta be so ghetto? |
|
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| You used to to hold me tight |
| And do the things I like (Tell me, tell me why?) |
| Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time? |
| I really wanna stay but you must change your ways |
|
| Let me know her name |
| Let me know, let me know her name |
| Why must you be so? |
| Let me know her name |
| Let me know, let me know her name |
| Why must you be so? |
