Judd, Wynonna - Tell Me Why Lyrics






Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see
You really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love
With a flame that never dies

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why

Ask anyone you know
And they'll say love fades away
But this hearts' cryin' just like yesterday

And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

So won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Judd, Wynonna Tell Me Why Comments
  1. G.... f....

    Still listening in 2020 and still gives me goosebumps and tears...

  2. M.... ....

    When this album came out I heard this first song and said this is true country music. Song still sounds great 26 years later.

  3. C.... W....

    One of my all-time favs

  4. W.... D....

    Frick'n amazing set of "Pipes" on that wonderful Gal!!! We just got back from seeing Wynonna and her AWESOME BAND - with Cactus @ the helm producing producing producing so damn well, at the Walhalla PAC in Walhalla South Carolina. 446 people seated, and we were treated to channeling Wynonna's inner old school self, totaly Zoey cool. She was so cute!!! Best concert of the year + by far! GREAT Audience, even better with a Happy Wynonna on Stage!!! GREAT NIGHT!

    You'll always be my favorite singer. I'm a 41 year old white male, a thug, covered in tattoos, a stepfather, a lover of all types of genres of music, but YOU and your music will always have the biggest piece of my heart. #MississippiWhiteBoy

  12. R.... T....

    Terrific song. Wonderful voice and instrumentals.

  13. J.... C....

    I just love the opening!!!

  14. S.... D....

    Lisa Marie Presley again.
    Jane Russell was Elvis' mother.

  15. E.... ....

    This song sure captures the essence of the 90's country sound.

  16. G.... W....

    great song...

  17. R.... S....

    I wonder why Wynonna does not reach out to Ancestry DNA to try to locate her father. I think finding her father would be very healing.

  18. E.... S....

    It makes me mad they don't make good music like this anymore... Bring back the good country please, people like me need it

  19. L.... ....

    At it's finest

  24. p.... 1....

    when I want to listen to country music, I turn on 97.1 in Houston, Texas. however I love these 2 songs on YT.  Wynonna Judd- "Tell me Why"; & Trisha Yearwood- "She's in love with the Boy".

    p.... 1....

    percy 12/37 there were lots of great 90s female country artists. Pam Tillis, Patti Loveless, Laurie Morgan, Tanya Tucker (she was obviously pre-90s as well), Wynona, Faith Hill, JoDee Messina, the list goes on

  25. S.... H....

    Wynonna others can thank Karla Bonoff for this wonderful song.

    S.... H....

    It DOES sound like Karla for sure!

  26. T.... ....

    Wynonna's best solo ever, I think. Anyone disagree?

  27. R.... T....

    She has the most amazing tones.

  28. M.... R....

  50. j.... m....

    excellent song

  51. T.... N....

    Saw her and her mom in Lake Tahoe around 1991? Great singers and man was momma a beauty.

  52. R.... M....

    one of THEE best female country voices of all time!

    R.... M....

    No doubt she's great no doubt in my mind but you can't forget about Patsy Cline Miss Klein had one of the best voices ever she was taken way too soon in March of 1963 in a plane crash how sad a tragic ending

  53. C.... S....

    love this one

  54. R.... W....

    If this song can't pick you up no song can.

  55. N.... M....

    one of the greatest songs of all time.

  56. R.... T....

    If I feel down I listen to this song and it brings me back.

  57. B.... M....

    Written by Karla Bonoff

    B.... M....

    I like Karla Bonoff version too. It has more subtlety.

  58. T.... M....

  59. T.... M....

  63. N.... M....

    One of the best cheering up songs i know. Works for me...

  64. b.... c....

    Her first 2 albums we excellent but then went downhill from there.

  65. R.... T....

    I listen to this song everyday almost. When u can listen to a song everyday and never get tired of it that is a good song!

    R.... T....

    then you must be a Queen! and I mean it! Frost on The Landscape!

    R.... T....

    Wynonna has a set of pipes ok her like no one else. I love love love her

    R.... T....

    Here is a reminder

  66. E.... H....

    I remember listening to this as a kid, memories....

    E.... H....

    +Eric Henderson lol you and me both. How old were you when it came out? I was 4. haha.

    E.... H....

    +Stephen R lol can't remember I'm 31 now.

  67. E.... V....

    😍😍🎸

  68. C.... M....

    Saw this sexy, amazing woman on Thursday, May 23, 1996 in Johnson City, TN at Freedom Hall. I was 15 and it was, by far, one of the best nights of my life!! God, I had a HUGE crush on her!

    C.... M....

    +Caleb Meade She'd put a huge crush on you now

    C.... M....

    LOL. True, but I ain't judging. She was a great singer.

  69. J.... B....

    I remember all so well the free concert she gave in downtown Denver in August '93 for World Youth Day....AWSUM!

  70. v.... ....

    Wynonna at her very best! One of my favorite songs....now....and always...

  71. T.... M....

    My favorite by Wynonnah!

  72. L.... F....

    County died when when pop producer's took it over assholes. But im happy to still be able to hear it today. Thanks you tube

    L.... F....

    I was listening to pandora today on 90's country and the station played something that shouldn't be considered country bit definitely pop. I think we have forgotten a little bit about what true country is

    L.... F....

    So true

  73. c.... ....

    Also not a big Judd fan, but this tune will do just fine, thank you.
    When C&W is good, it's the cat's ass.
    Whatever that means.

  74. D.... W....

    ACC's #27 song of the '93 survey year. Wy hit #3 in Billboard, 5-29-93. God bless you, Wy! Thanx, Jukebox Guy, for postin' it. Have a blessed rest of the week!

  75. S.... R....

    man I remember when this song was a big hit. I feel so old! lol.

    S.... R....

    I am old 80, but still Love this song!

  76. W.... K....

    Wynonna does the song justice. The song was written and performed by Karla Bonoff. Thanks for posting it.

  77. G.... E....

    dam good song

  78. T.... B....

    Though I'm a Judd's fan I have to admit this is a pretty good song.

    T.... B....

    Did you mean "Though I am NOT a Judds fan"?

  79. f.... ....

    It'sa LassieSongUSA Sweetheart!  In Command of All Country Music! QX!

  80. A.... ....

    I loved, and love, this song as well as the artist who sings it! ;-)

  81. P.... G....

    I love this woman

  82. j.... r....

    wynonna  bravo  tres belle chanson

  83. r.... ....

    Fantastic.

  84. M.... ....

    This is a really good cover close to the original artist. But a little countrified to Wynonna's style. I love them both. But for some strange reason I'd like to hear a male version of this. Written just ever so slightly different for directivity in the other direction.

  85. D.... W....

    I miss these days!

  86. M.... ....

    This is on my list of go-to-songs.

    My girl, Kat, up at the bar told me so! :) {{Back in '94}}

    Saw Wynonna once in Parisians ~ [Franklin, TN] ~ she looked fabulous ~ near the hardwood floor boutique section ~

    One of my memorable memories.

    Peace,
    Veronica

  87. b.... s....

    YOU MEAN ALLAH ASSHOLE

  88. T.... ....

    amo a esta cantante genial cantante

  89. L.... M....

    The song is great, but the slide guitar solo and coda moves me the most.

  90. N.... d....

    Wynonna love you, when are you going to be on TV again, miss you!

  91. K.... J....

    what country is missing is the o and the r

  92. P.... Z....

    Karla Bonoff's original gained fame by its use on the show 'The Wonder Year' but Wynona's cover turned the song into a big single hit. Her cover stays very close to the original, so you could almost say if you've heard one, you've heard the other.

  93. l.... ....

    Interesting. I never knew that, but it explains a lot.

  94. P.... Z....

    That may be because it's a Karla Bonoff (folk / pop ) song from her 1988 album 'New World' .

  95. P.... Z....

    It's not a "90's country song" - was composed by and performed by Karla Bonoff (pop singer) on her album "New World" released in 1988. This performance is a cover.

  96. P.... Z....

    Please remember, it's a Karla Bonoff song, composed by her— not really country music.

    P.... Z....

    Better as a country song

  97. R.... ....

    for the music record I Am!..the pic of Wynonna Judd here says it to me cool. 'You're in a Country and It's Suddenly Raining but that I mean that THIS SONG REIGNS!" I'll haveta check out some of Tammy Wynette's musicvideos...behind someone's pretty face crying (and again?)...that you can't pick family!!! some song The First Royal Family of Man and as The Queen In Music, Laugh!

  98. c.... ....

    Tammy Wynette was.
