Tell Me More And More And Then Some
Nina Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy you know what I wanna hear
I want some more and then some of that
I love you only dear
I want some more and then some
Oh how you feel
And then when you done told me
About a million times
How much you love me
And you're through
Start right back again
I've made the same mistake
I know the awful ache
Of a little heart that's been double crossed
The waiting's been so long so long
It's hard to be believing
I thought I'd missed my guess
I thought happiness for me was lost
I want more some more
Some more and then some
You know how I love that stuff
Whisper from now on till Doomsday
But I never
No I never no I never
Will get enough
In this song, Nina Simone is singing to her lover, asking him to keep telling her how much he loves her. She asks him to tell her more and then some, indicating that she wants him to keep going even when he feels like he's said it all. She wants to hear how he feels about her, and wants to be reassured of his love continuously. Simone compares her desire for this constant affirmation to an addiction, saying that she will never get enough of it.
Simone also talks about the pain of being deceived in love, saying that she knows what it feels like to have her heart broken. This suggests that her need for constant reassurance may stem from past hurt in her relationships. She acknowledges that it's hard to believe in happiness after experiencing such pain, but yet she still craves more of her lover's affection.
This song is a beautiful showcase of Nina Simone's emotional depth and talent as a performer. It's a passionate, soulful plea for love and affirmation, and captures the feeling of being completely consumed by one's emotions. It's a powerful reminder of how much we all need to feel loved and valued, and how important it is to express this to those we care about.

ITS BEEN SAID WHEN YOU HAVE A GUT FEELING ABOUT SOMETHING ,OR LISTEN TO YOUR FIRST INSTINCT... IT PAYS...
WHEN YOU KNOW WHATS FULLY GOING ON WITH YOUR PARTNER ITS EASY TO SAY TELL ME MORE AND MORE AND THEN SOME...
BUT WOOL OVER THE EYES AINT A GOOD THING AND THATS WHEN YOU WANT MORE AND MORE AND THEN SOME INFORMATION...
IF I WERE A THIRD WHEEL ... TELL ME THE NAMES OF 1 & 2 ...
OR COUNT ME OUT...
