The lyrics of "Tell Me Tell Me" by Rainbow talk about a girl who wants to confess her feelings to a guy she likes. The girls of Rainbow sing about how they want to have a heart-to-heart talk with the guy and let him know that they like him. The girls show that they are confident and are not afraid to speak their minds. The use of numerals such as "5 5 5 4 3 2 1" and "5 4 3 2 1 bingo!" creates a catchphrase that is easy to sing along to and makes the song more memorable. The girls ask the guy to speak to them honestly, telling him "Tell me tell me eoseo mareul haejwo" which means "Tell me tell me, just say it" in English. The chorus continuously repeats "Hoo~~hoo~~hoo~~hoo~~ I wanna be, be your love" emphasizing their desire to be with the guy they like.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
@-hc__
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
@maddiej2165
Fun fact: Wonder Girls hated this song so much that they actually begged JYP not to release it. Imagine if JYP agreed then this legendary masterpiece wouldn’t be here
@rachelcookie321
Well I understand, they probably found it incredibly annoying after having to listen to it hundreds of times while practicing
@IFunMaker
They can be proud still one of the best k pop Song for me
@avocadose5696
IM GLAD JYP POST IT this is a masterpiece
