You Got to Tell Me
Love's Plea: Unveiling Emotions in 'You Got to Tell Me'
Lyrics
You got some hang-ups well I do too
You and I both have some emotional issues or difficulties.
I don't know what you expect me to do
I'm unsure about what actions or responses you're expecting from me.
You treat me wrong and I treat you right
Despite your mistreatment, I treat you with kindness and fairness.
Come on love me and say it tonight
Express your love for me tonight; don't hesitate.
You got to tell me you still love me so
You need to affirm that you still love me.
Come on say it woman
Ask your partner, likely a woman, to vocalize her love for you.
Won't you let me know
Request for confirmation of love and understanding from the woman.
You got to tell me you still love me so
Reiteration of the need for assurance of love.
Come on and say it won't you let me know
Reiterate the request for verbal confirmation of love.
I call your name and you turn and walk away
Calling out to the partner who turns away, possibly in avoidance.
Not so fast baby
Urging the partner not to ignore the speaker; listen to their words.
Listen to what I say
Emphasizing the importance of the speaker's words to the partner.
I ask you please
Requesting the partner to comply with the speaker's plea.
And you keep on pushing me
Despite pleas, the partner continues to resist or push the speaker away.
All I want is you to say you love me
Expressing a simple desire for the partner to declare their love.
You got to tell me you still love me so
Reiteration of the need for verbal affirmation of love.
Come on and say it won't you let me know
Repeat of the request for the partner to express love verbally.
You got to tell me you still love me so
Re-emphasizing the importance of the partner declaring their love.
Come on and say it won't you let me know
Repeat of the request for verbal confirmation of love.
One more time I'm giving it straight to you
The speaker is making a direct and clear statement to the partner.
Now listen honey
Addressing the partner and expressing confidence in their agreement.
I know you can't refuse
Acknowledging the partner's inability to resist the speaker's request.
You stood me up
Recalling a past incident where the partner let the speaker down.
And left me out in the pouring rain
The partner abandoned the speaker in challenging circumstances.
Don't let me hear you say our love is in vain
Warning the partner not to claim the love is futile.
You got to tell me you still love me so
Reiteration of the need for verbal affirmation of love.
Come on and say it won't you let me know
Repeating the request for the partner to express love verbally.
You got to tell me you still love me so
Emphasizing the importance of the partner declaring their love.
Come on and say it won't you let me know
Repeat of the request for verbal confirmation of love.
