Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight
[PreChorus]
Tell me why (Tell me why)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Is it so (Is it so)
[Chorus]
That the best part of breakin' up
Is when you're making up
Tell me why (Best part of breakin' up)
Is when you're making up (I wanna know)
But after breakin' up
Be sure you're making up with me
[Verse 2]
Every time you leave, I get those teardrops in my eyes
But they seem to go away when you apologize
[PreChorus]
Tell me why (Tell me why)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Is it so (Is it so)
[Chorus]
That the best part of breakin' up
Is when you're making up (Tell me why)
Best part of breakin' up
Is when you're making up (I wanna know)
But after breakin' up
Be sure you're making up with me
[Bridge]
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Don't say, maybe
Well, it makes no difference who is wrong
Just as long as I'll be with you
[Verse 3]
Baby, I'll be lonely
Till you're back where you should be
But baby, I belong to you
And you belong to me
[PreChorus]
Tell me why (Tell me why)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Is it so (Is it so)
[Chorus]
That the best part of breakin' up
Is when you're making up (Tell me why)
Best part of breakin' up
Is when you're making up (I wanna know)
But after breakin' up
Be sure you're making up with
Best part of breakin' up is when you know that you're making up with me
[Outro]
Come on, baby
Come home, baby
Don't say, maybe
Come on, baby
Ooh, wee, baby
Come on, baby
Don't say, maybe
Come on, baby
