Lyrics:
Tell me
Tell me
What's happening, baby?
Tell me
Tell me
What's happening, baby?

Everytime, you hear a car horn blow
You almost kill yourself, running to the door
Peeping and carrying on
Could it be, you're having an affair?
What's wrong with you?
You're just not acting like yourself

Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Tell me what's happening, baby? (What's happening, baby?)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (Oh, I've got to know)
Tell me
Tell me what's happening, baby? (What's happening, baby?)

What's happening, out there in the streets?
That keeps you out all night
Away, away, away, away from me
Whatever it is that you want
You're just about to mess around
And break up our happy home

Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Tell me what's happening, baby? (What's happening, baby?)
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me what's happening, baby?
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me, baby)
[fades out]
