Tell
Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me why
Tell me why you do the thing you do
Tell me why you move the way you move
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
All of a sudden wanna flex a fake life
And you acting super nice to other guys
Is it cause of how I acted one time
Or you really tryna read between the lines
I ain't really fuck with them baby only fuck with mine
We can not fall apart over just one night
Just hop in let's get high
We can drive around for the whole night
You can tell your friends they were always right about me
Too good for a girl like you I see
You don't miss me you just miss the streets girl
Should of listened when my twin said to leave her
Tryna look at me bitch I don't believe her
Who the fuck am I or you to say I need her
If I'm being honest I just need help
Been having trouble finding myself
Tell me why
All of a sudden wanna flex a fake life
And you acting super nice to other guys
Is it cause of how I acted one time
Or you really tryna read between the lines
I ain't really fuck with them baby only fuck with mine
We can not fall apart over just one night
Just hop in let's get high
We can drive around for the whole night
We can drive around
Talk about things we forgot about
Either one of us say the wrong thing the other one is walking out
Tell me what you call me now
It ain't what you use to
I know what you use to
You say that I used you
I say that you used me
I said if I lied you could buy a gun just to shoot me
You know if its 2 AM I still call what you doing
Tell me what you doing
Tell me why
All of a sudden wanna flex a fake life
And you acting super nice to other guys
Is it cause of how I acted one time
Or you really tryna read between the lines
I ain't really fuck with them baby only fuck with mine
We can not fall apart over just one night




Just hop in let's get high
We can drive around for the whole night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Evans's song "Can't Tell Me No" describes the pain of being in love with someone who is in love with someone else. She pleads with this person to stay away, to stop calling her or trying to be with her, but the temptation is too great for her to resist. She acknowledges that her weakness is strong and that it hurts her deeply to be in this situation. She wants to believe that this person is truly over their past love, but it's difficult to trust them. She knows that tomorrow she will wake up missing them.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the agony that comes with unrequited love. Evans compares it to torture and a living hell. Even though she tries to convince herself not to lose control, she can't help but be drawn to the person she loves. She is conflicted between wanting to be with them and knowing that it's not healthy for her. The final chorus reinforces the pain and agony of loving someone who is not available to her.


Overall, Evans's lyrics in this song can be interpreted as a warning against falling for someone who is not emotionally available. Despite the overwhelming temptation to be with them, it's important to recognize that unrequited love can cause immense pain and heartbreak.
