Tell Me
Love's Dilemma: A Soulful Plea by Trudy Lynn
Lyrics
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me what kind of love is this
Questioning the nature of the love being experienced
The way you used to hold me I could never resist
Describing the irresistible nature of past affection
Once we had a love tighter than a glove
Recalling a previously strong and close relationship
Now you give me more excuses than love
Noticing a shift towards excuses rather than love
Tell Me tell Me Tell Me have you found somebody new
Asking if the partner has found someone new
Deep in my heart I know what you trying to do
Expressing awareness of the partner's intentions
From the look in your eyes, you don't realize
Observing a lack of realization in the partner's eyes
You ain't got enough for two
Indicating the partner's insufficient commitment
Either you will
Presenting options for the partner's decision
Either you won't
Highlighting the need for authenticity
Be for real or somebody else will
Warning of potential consequences if not genuine
Come on Tell me, Tell me what's the plan
Urging the partner to communicate plans
I'm not the type of woman that can share no man (I can't do it)
Asserting an inability to share a partner
Either you will
Reiterating the importance of the partner's decision
Either you won't
Stressing the necessity of authenticity again
Be for real or somebody else will
Warning of potential consequences if not genuine
Come on and Tell me, Tell me what's the plan
Encouraging openness about plans and intentions
I'm not the type of woman that can share no man ( I can't do it)
Emphasizing an inability to share a partner
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me am I just wasting my time
Questioning the value of the current situation
It's all up to you come on and make up your mind
Placing the decision in the partner's hands
You can't have me and another woman too
Asserting exclusivity in the relationship
Now tell me what you're gonna do
Seeking a decision from the partner
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me it's up to you, make up your mind
Putting the responsibility of decision-making on the partner
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me , if you don't somebody will
Implying someone else might step in if a decision isn’t made
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me, if you don't your brother might
Indicating the potential involvement of others due to indecision
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me, I gotta have it all for myself
Expressing the need for exclusive commitment
No side pieces up in here baby
Rejecting the idea of having multiple partners
No part-time love either
Refusing a relationship that's only part-time
I want it all, I want it all for myself
Asserting the desire for complete commitment
You can't have me and another woman too
Reiterating the need for exclusivity
Now tell me what you're gonna do
Requesting a decision from the partner
You can't have me and another woman too
Reasserting the impossibility of sharing the partner
Now tell me what you're gonna do
Reiterating the need for a decision
You can't have me and another woman too
Re-emphasizing the impossibility of sharing the partner
Now tell me what you're gonna do
Reiterating the need for a decision
