Tell Him I Said Hello
Whispers of Love Lost: Linda Ronstadt's Message in 'Tell Him I Said Hello'
Lyrics
When you see him
Expressing the action of seeing someone
Tell him things are slow
Conveying that things are not progressing quickly
There's a reason and he's sure to know
Suggesting there's a specific reason for the slowness, known to him
But on second thought, forget it
Initially suggesting to forget conveying the reason
Just tell him I said hello
Choosing to convey a simple greeting instead
If he asks you when I come and go
If questioned about her movements, suggest staying home due to missing him
Say I stay home 'cause I miss him so
Reiterating the reason for staying home, emphasizing her feelings
But on second thought, forget it
Revisiting the idea of forgetting to convey the reason
Just tell him I said hello
Sticking to a simple greeting, suggesting a desire to avoid complexity
Look into his eyes
Suggesting a deeper connection by asking to look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Encouraging a connection through the mention of her name
Maybe there's a spark to start another flame
Hinting at the possibility of rekindling a romantic flame
Do I love him?
Pondering her feelings, questioning if she still loves him
Don't say yes or no
Advising not to provide a straightforward answer to the love question
If he should ask you
Anticipating a hypothetical question about her feelings from him
But he won't I know
Expressing doubt that he would ask such a question
Cause it's all over and forgotten
Acknowledging the end of their relationship and its fading from memory
Just tell him I said hello
Reiterating to convey a simple greeting, emphasizing closure
Look into his eyes
Repeating the suggestion to look into his eyes for a connection
When you speak my name
Reemphasizing the potential for sparking a new flame
Maybe there's a spark to start another flame
Reiterating the question of whether she still loves him
Do I love him?
Advising not to provide a clear answer to the love question
Don't say yes or no
Anticipating a hypothetical question about her feelings from him
If he should ask you
Expressing doubt that he would ask such a question
But he won't I know
Confirming the finality of their relationship and its fading from memory
Cause it's all over and forgotten
Reiterating to convey a simple greeting, emphasizing closure
Just tell him I said hello
Finalizing the message by repeating the simple greeting
