Bb
Why? won't you kindly tell me
D7                                Gm
Why? you always leave me high and dry
                             Bb7
And give all the other boys attention, dear?
                    Eb       D7
You know I want you near me, hear me
Gm                           G7
You'd be so awfully pleasing if you stopped your teasing
C
If you do
Gb
I'll be true
F
Through and through

Bb
Why are you so captivating?
D7
Why are you so aggravating?
Gm                                Bb7
And for me must I keep on waiting patiently?
                         Eb             D7
You know there's lots of kissing, we're missing
Gm                           G7
I'd like to hear you say the words that you once whispered
C7   F7                     Bb
Oh, why don't you tell me why?
