Lyrics
Tell Me
I. I'd rather die, than live my life without you.
'Cause, I just cry, each night, alone. I'm so blue.
You shattered my dreams when you packed your things.
You broke all your promises. Stole back my diamond ring.
(Chorus)
So, tell me, tell me, tell me, how low did you go?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, was your love just a hoax?
Come on, tell me, tell me, tell me, did you clean me out at th' bank?
My friends say, "I told you so!" I've got myself to thank.
II. Why did you lie? I thought you were my soul mate.
My eyes were blind. How could I find out this late?
Your good looks and charms didn't set off alarms.
I gave you my everything. How could you do me harm?
(Chorus)
So, tell me, tell me, tell me, how low did you go?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, was your love just a hoax?
Come on, tell me, tell me, tell me, did you clean me out at th' bank?
My friends say, "I told you so!" I've got myself to thank.
(Bridge)
Tell me. Then I can feel a little better.
Tell me. I need to get myself together. Tell me. Just spell it out. Don't leave me in doubt.
(Chorus)
So, tell me, tell me, tell me, how low did you go?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, was your love just a hoax?
Come on, tell me, tell me, tell me, did you clean me out at th' bank?
My friends say, "I told you so!" I've got myself to thank.
(Tag)
So, tell me. So, I can let you go. Tell me. Tell me...
