Who, What, When, Where, Why
Unraveling Love's Mystery with Dionne Warwick
Lyrics
Who (who ooh ooh ooh oo)
Asking about a person, seeking identity
What (woo ooh ooh ooh oo)
Asking about something, seeking clarification
Where (woo ooh ooh ooh oo)
Asking about a place, seeking location
Why (tell me why, tell me why, tell me why)
Asking for reasons, seeking justification or explanation
I don't understand let's sit down and talk
Expressing confusion, suggesting a conversation to clarify
One minute you love me and then you walk
Describing inconsistent behavior, sudden changes in affection
There's more going on than you will admit
Implying hidden aspects not being acknowledged
'cause just as we got it to work you quit
Expressing frustration at the relationship ending abruptly
I'm caught in a fog and you make it clear
Feeling confused despite attempts to understand
The truth won't be worse than
Anticipating truth, fearing potential realities
The things I fear it's a mystery to me
Expressing bewilderment about the situation
I haven't a clue
Feeling clueless about the circumstances
If somebody else has a part of you
Speculating if another person is involved
Tell me who (who)
Reiterating the query about a person
What when where why (why) who is the guy
Requesting information about various aspects of the situation
What made you need someone new tell me
Seeking reasons for seeking another person
Who what when where why when did it die
Asking specific details about the end of the relationship
When'd we go wrong
Reflecting on when things started going awry
Don't you lie, tell me why
Asking for honesty in explanation
You won't be my love you won't be my friend
Expressing rejection and seeking understanding
But won't you at least help me comprehend
Requesting assistance in comprehending the situation
What's happening to me 'cause after you go
Expressing concern about personal turmoil after the departure
My one consolation will be to know
Seeking closure by understanding the situation
The places and names, the reason and rhymes
Desiring factual information about events and reasons
The facts of the matter and points in time
Wanting clarity about specific details and timelines
I tried for your love but you won't allow
Expressing efforts to win love but facing resistance
This guy to do nothin' but ask you how
Expressing desire to communicate and understand
And - who (who) what when where why (why)
Reiterating the questions about a person and reasons
Who is the guy
Reiterating the need for information about a person
What made you need someone new tell me
Repeating the request for reasons for seeking another person
Who what when where why when did it die
Asking for specific details about the end of the relationship again
When'd we go wrong
Reflecting on when things started going wrong again
Don't you lie, tell me why
Reiterating the request for honesty in explanation
I want you to say what's inside your head
Asking for honesty and transparency in communication
Confession is good for the soul it's said
Highlighting the importance of honesty for resolution
So start at the top and take it real slow
Encouraging a methodical approach in discussing the situation
If you want out, then I have to know
Expressing the need to know if the relationship is ending
Just - who (who) what when where why (why)
Reiterating the questions about a person and reasons
Who is the guy
Reiterating the need for information about a person
What made you need someone new tell me
Repeating the request for reasons for seeking another person
Who what when where why when did it die
Asking for specific details about the end of the relationship again
When'd we go wrong
Reflecting on when things started going wrong again
Don't you lie, tell me why
Reiterating the request for honesty in explanation
