Will Smith - Tell Me Why

[INTRO] - Why, why, why, why, why. Why

[CHORUS - Will Smith]
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don’t cry, dry your eyes

[Verse 1 - Will Smith]
September 11th, I woke up about 7am, west coast time, French toast and my
Turkey bacon, taking my time, awakin’, turning my TV on
To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
Me & my children, images were chillin’
My son said, “Daddy were there people in that building?”
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
I heard his question, couldn’t bring my lips to say “Yes” to him
That night at my son’s side, he cried & prayed
For the one’s who died in the World Trade
His palms to God, seeds and qualms with God
He just kept on pressin’ me, wanna know why
Then one week later our bombs were dropped
We seein’ them on CNN, they just won’t stop
The infrared images of brutal attack
He said, “Daddy now we killin’ em back”; (right, right)

[CHORUS - (2x)]

[BRIDGE - Mary J. Blige:]
Mmmmm, souls are captured
Dreams are stolen, hearts are broken
Evil blatantly rewarded
Hate surrenders, Love exalted
Hope elated, negativity is shorted

[verse 2 - Will Smith]

Eye is to die
Why is the bomb always getting the last word
& why did her uncle have to molest her
& why did all them cops have to be shootin’ to kill
& why did all them priests have to act so ill
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched
Tell me why did Malcolm & Martin depart from us
Tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot
& why does human life always denied for loot
Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
& why the f*@k can’t love seem to defeat hate
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat
Why did Pac & Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way
Please what am I supposed to say to my kids when they say ‘Why?’

[CHORUS - (2x)]

[VERSE 3]
Can’t explain it baby, life is just really crazy
I mean if it’s world wars or the life of a little baby
We got more stores than they got rice under Buddha lazy
You live four scores & still it be driving you crazy
But for me I try to see the bright side
Sometimes it’d be like the goodness be tryin’ to hide
Then try to flee, but it can’t it’s deep inside
Sweetie, you be the light for the others, make ‘em believe in God

[BRIDGE - Mary J. Blige:]
Mmmmm, souls are captured
Dreams are stolen, hearts are broken
Evil blatantly rewarded
Hate surrenders, Love exalted
Hope elated, negativity is shorted

Will Young - Leave Right Now

Will Young/Eg White
I’m here, just like I saidÂ…
Though it’s breaking every rule I’ve ever made.
My racing heart is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I’d love to say “I do”;
Give everything to you.
But I could never now be trueÂ…

[Chorus]
So I sayÂ…
I think I’d better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper.
I think I’d better leave right now;
Feeling weaker and weaker.
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper.
I think I’d better leave right now.

I’m here, so please explain
Why you’re opening up a healing wound again.
I’m a little more careful,
Perhaps it shows.
But if I lose the highs,
At least I’m spared the lows.

Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm?

[Chorus]
I wouldn’t know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you’ve got your smile back –
Like you say, you’re right on track
But you may never know why -
Once bitten, twice as shy.
If I’m proud, perhaps I should explain:
I couldn’t bear to lose you again.

[Chorus]
Yes, I will.
I think I’d better leave right now;
I’m feeling weaker and weaker.
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper…

I think I’d better leave right now.

Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Little Mystery

Baby Baby Baby, yeah
Western Union man
Send me a telegraph

My love has taken a tumble
Oh, but I’m still standing
You’re such a natural, sing,
It’s that what you are

Say I wouldn’t steer you wrong now baby

It’s just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It makes me try sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Shake a bitty

Didn’t I come insisting a sight of wonder
Didn’t I come resisting a higher decision
Didn’t I come insisting a sight of wonder
To your life

Say I wouldn’t steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn’t steer you wrong

It’s just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It’s just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It makes me try, sweet little mystery
That makes me try,
It makes me try, try, try, try

And oh, just think of the magic ooh-ooh
Don’t think it is tragic, hey hey hey
Just think of the magic

Come on listen

My love has taken a tumble, woh woh
My love has taken a tumble
C’mon its, my love has taken a tumble
But I’m still standing

And if only, only, only, only, only
Only love me like you used to do

Just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try try try try

Come on listen, hey
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try,

C’mon, c’mon
My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
Say I’m still standing
