[Intro: Justin & JC]
Oh, oh
Hold on, uh, you know what?
Can we back it up just a little bit?

I said why?
I said why?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Justin]
We were born the same day
We even think the same way
I couldn't be more right
We are what they call a perfect match
Something that you can't touch
Down to the last bone, you're my baby

[Pre-Chorus 1: JC]
But to be honest, there's just one thing
A part that is missing
You don't seem to care at all

[Chorus: All]
Tell me, tell me, baby
How come you don't wanna love me?
Don't you know that I can't breathe without you?
Tell me, tell me just how
What am I supposed to do right now?
Why can't you love me?
Why? Tell me, my baby

[Verse 2: JC]
Now from the moment we met
I thought that I was all set
How could I be so wrong?
Now I'm hearing that you're seeing someone new
And I wanna know who
But does he love you like I do? My baby

[Pre-Chorus 2: Justin]
But I promise you this one thing
Whatever that's missing
I will make it up to you, so tell me, baby

[Chorus: All]
Tell me, tell me, baby
How come you don't wanna love me?
Don't you know that I can't breathe without you?
Tell me, tell me just how
What am I supposed to do right now?
Why can't you love me?
Why? Tell me, my baby

[Bridge: Justin & JC]
Getting under my skin, messing up my mind
Never let me into your life
And tell me, baby
How come you don't wanna love me?
And how I'm supposed to live without
If there is no way
To make you feel the same way too?

[Interlude]
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me

[Reprise: Justin]
We were born the same day
We even think the same way
We are what they all call a perfect match

[Chorus: All, JC & Justin]
Tell me, baby
How come you don't wanna love me?
Don't you know that I can't breathe without you?
Tell me, tell me just how (tell me how)
What am I supposed to do right now?
Why can't you love me?
(So tell me, why can't you fall in love with me, oh baby)
Tell me, tell me, baby
How come you don't wanna love me?
Don't you know that I can't breathe without you?
Tell me, tell me just how (oh-oh)
What am I supposed to do right now?
(What am I supposed to do?)
Why can't you love me?
Why? Tell me, my baby

[Outro: Justin]
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, yeah
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Say, tell me, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me, yeah
Tell me, tell me, tell me, yeah

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as ★NSYNC, formally stylized as ‘N Sync) was an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the group’s second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week.

In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, *NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, Nelly, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Céline Dion and Gloria Estefan.
