About Tell Me Why

Taylor Swift co-wrote this with her frequent collaborator Liz Rose. She explained that the song was inspired by her frustration at a boy that she liked who kept acting up. I walked into Liz’s house, and I said, ‘I can’t believe what’s going on right now, I’ve gotta tell you about this.’ I told her all about it. She goes, ‘If you could say everything you were thinking to him right now, what would you start with?’ I would say to him .

Tell Me Why Lyrics

[00:06.09] I took a chance
[00:08.43] I took a shot
[00:10.82] And you might think I'm bulletproof but I'm not
[00:15.67] You took a swing
[00:18.03] I took it hard
[00:20.43] And down here from the ground I see who you are
[00:25.24] I'm sick and tired of your attitude
[00:27.63] I'm feeling like I don't know you
[00:30.19] You tell me that you love me
[00:32.39] Then you cut me down
[00:34.79] And I need you like a heartbeat
[00:37.16] But you know you got a mean streak
[00:39.76] Makes me run for cover
[00:41.63] When you're around
[00:44.24] Here's to you and your temper
[00:47.24] Yes, I remember what you said last night
[00:52.12] And I know that you see what you're doing to me
[00:56.87] Tell me why
[01:00.22]
[01:03.68] Well, you could write a book on
[01:06.21] How to ruin someone's perfect day
[01:13.24] Well, I get so confused and frustrated
[01:16.60] Forget what I'm trying to say, oh, oh
[01:22.87] I'm sick and tired of your reasons
[01:25.26] I got no one to believe in
[01:27.67] You tell me that you want me
[01:30.97] Then push me around
[01:32.33] And I need you like a heartbeat
[01:34.70] But you know you got a mean streak
[01:37.33] Makes me run for cover
[01:39.10] When you're around
[01:41.82] Here's to you and your temper
[01:44.93] Yes, I remember what you said last night
[01:49.74] And I know that you see what you're doing to me
[01:54.34] Tell me why
[02:00.01] Why do you have to make me feel small so you can feel whole inside?
[02:09.76] Why do you have to put down my dreams so you're the only thing on my mind?
[02:20.38] Well, I'm sick and tired of your attitude
[02:23.06] Feeling like I don't know you
[02:25.29] You tell me that you want me
[02:28.07] And cut me down
[02:30.05] I'm sick and tired of your reasons
[02:32.48] I've got no one to believe in
[02:34.85] You ask me for my love
[02:36.82] Then you push me around
[02:39.43] Here's to you and your temper
[02:42.58] Yes, I remember what you said last night
[02:47.37] And I know that you see what you're doing to me
[02:52.04] Tell me why, why?
[02:56.86] Tell me why, oh
[03:03.65] I take a step back
[03:06.14] Let you go
[03:08.40] I told you I'm not bulletproof
[03:11.36] Now you know
[03:12.61]
