Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow?
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the mornin' sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
The lyrics of Amerie's song "Tell Me You Love Me" express uncertainty and vulnerability in a relationship. The song's narrator is in a state of doubt and questioning the longevity and sincerity of her partner's love. The fear of heartbreak and of being let down in the face of an overwhelming infatuation is palpable throughout the lyrics. The song also touches on the notion of wanting reassurance and confirmation that the love is real and will last. The repeated call for the partner to confirm that they will still love their significant other tomorrow emphasizes the desire for a confirming commitment.
The song is an emotive and timeless ballad that has been covered by various artists throughout the years. The tune originally came from a classic song of the same name by The Shirelles, making Amerie's tune a modern update of the 1960s classic. The lyrics, which were penned by Carole King and her then-husband Gerry Goffin, are written from a perspective of doubt and insecurity, but the tune's upbeat and melodic rhythm makes it a catchy and relatable tune for all generations.
