Tell Me Why Lyrics by Exposé

What You Don’t Know (Expanded Edition)

1989

[Intro: All]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 1: Gioia]
Echoes thunder almost every night
Why this prison if we're all alike?
Look around you, look at all your friends
Tell me, are they just what they pretend?
[Pre-Chorus: Gioia & All]
Listen to my story (Listen to my story)
If you have the time (Ooh-ooh)
Yes, we'll make the difference if we really try
Listen everybody (Listen everybody)
And start to make it right (Ooh-ooh)
One and all together, we feel it from inside
[Chorus: All]
Tell me why it echoes every night
Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right
Don't let it slide, you can't run and hide
Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?
[Post-Chorus: All]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Gioia]
Give me a reason for all this senseless crime
We can change it, why'd they have to die?
Think of the children, tomorrow's their future
Don't make them feel it's just another day
[Pre-Chorus: Gioia & All]
Tell me anybody (Tell me anybody)
Why can't we live together? (Ooh-ooh)
End all the fighting, erase it all forever
Listen for this reason (Listen for this reason)
Before it gets too late (Ooh-ooh)
Soon, there will be no one, no one left to hate
[Chorus: All]
Tell me why it echoes every night
Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right
Don't let it slide, you can't run and hide
Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?
[Bridge: Gioia with All & All]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Won't you tell me, tell me why?
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tell me why we fight (Tell me, tell me why)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tell me, tell me why
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Won't you tell me why we fight? (Tell me, tell me why)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus: Gioia & All]
So, tell me anybody (Tell me anybody)
Why can't we live together? (Ooh-ooh)
End all the fighting, erase it all forever (Ever)
Listen for this reason (Listen for this reason)
Before it gets too late (Ooh-ooh)
Soon, there will be no one, no one left to hate (So tell me)
[Chorus: All & Gioia]
Tell me why it echoes every night (It echoes every night)
Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right (So tell me why we fight)
Don't let it slide (Don't let it slide), you can't run and hide (Can't run and hide)
Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why? (Tell me why)
Tell me why it echoes every night (Why it echoes every night)
Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right (No, no, wrong or right)
Don't let it slide (Don't let it slide), you can't run and hide (Don't let it slide)
Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?
[Outro: Gioia & All]
Games are not where it's at
Give it up, no time for that
Imagine people hand in hand
No more fighting in this land
Red, yellow, black or white (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Colors don't make up what's right
Come with me and see the light
We can start the peace tonight
Let the music fill your life (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Now's the time to realize
Don't be living in a lie (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Can't you hear the people's cry? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Can't you hear the people's cry? (Tell me, tell me why)
