[Verse 1]
Explain to me, honestly, who is she
Tell me you don't love this girl
Damn it boy, why'd you go and ruin everything that I been livin' for
Is this where I'm supposed to turn my back
Cry a tear and walk away
Before I do, a word to you, you should know
Know you've make a big mistake

[Chorus]
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and do this crazy thing
Thought I loved you good, loved you all I could
Never just for a ring
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and lose your mind this time
Treated you so good, but you knew I would
Never just for a ring

[Verse 2]
Proud to say, everyday, that I stayed
Very much in live with you
Even though I'll never know what it's like
To hear you say the words "I do"

[Chorus]
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and do this crazy thing
Thought I loved you good, loved you all I could
Never just for a ring
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and lose your mind this time
Treated you so good, but you knew I would
Never just for a ring

[Bridge]
So, no more holding hands
No kisses and no wedding plans
Our love was just a lie
So now, I'll go an cry
Oh, why?

[Chorus]
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and do this crazy thing
Thought I loved you good, loved you all I could
Never just for a ring
Why? When? Where? How? Who?
What made you go off and lose your mind this time
Treated you so good, but you knew I would

The song made it onto the soundtrack of the movie Boomerang, giving her early success and recognition.
