Song Lyrics

Oh baby

I know I must have shocked you, when I walked in on you
Making love to another man, kissing and holding hands
I could tell you were surprised, girl, 'cause I saw it in your eyes
I even heard you call him, babe
I said, Lord I hope it's not my friend

I stood there hoping this wasn't true
But the longer I stayed, the more I felt blue

Somebody tell me it ain't true
You can imagine what I've said
Somebody tell me it ain't true
Oh Lord, tell me why did you do?
I wanna know why did you do?

Listen, mama said you'll hurt me someday
But I never thought it would happen this way
I know my feeling won't be the same for you
Unless you tell me, Marvin, it's all a game

You've got me hurting inside
So bad I think I'm gonna cry

Somebody tell me it ain't true
Somebody tell me it ain't true
Oh, tell me why did you do?
I wanna know why, why did you do?

You see I gave you everything
Oh Lord, money could buy you
But you lied, cheated, touch down me
With my best friend, baby
I'm going clean out of my mind, only me, I'm not lying

Somebody tell me it ain't true
Somebody tell me it ain't true
Tell me why did you do?
I wanna know why did you do?

Why, why did you do?
Why did you do?

Diamond rings, fine clothes
Woman, I know I gave you love

Tell me why did you do?
Why did you do?

You got me hurting inside
So bad I think I'm gonna cry

Tell me why did you do?
Why did you do?
Tell me why
