Tell Me One More Time
Gareth Gates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on and tell me baby

Do you believe in love
The way that I do
And when u find the one
Wherever u go will travel with u
What can I say
Where do I start
To pick up the pieces of your broken heart
Tell me one more time
Why your heart cannot be mine
Look into my eyes and say
That love has gone
And I'll be man enough to walk away
Tell me one more time
Why your dreams cannot be mine
'Cause I won't believe it's true
Until I hear it from u

Do you believe in love
There's no right no wrong, no, no,
Loves just an open road
With different ways of moving on
I dare you to stay
And watch me now
Leaving is taking the easy way out
Tell me one more time
Why your heart cannot be mine
Look into my eyes and say
That love has gone
And I'll be man enough to walk away
Tell me one more time
'Cause I won't believe it's true
Until I hear it from you

They can my life
I want you so bad
And losing you, means losing all that I had
And this is crazy
Girl why cant you see
Your the only one
That ever mattered to me
Oh baby!

Look into my eyes
Love has truly gone
I will walk away
Tell me one more time
Dreams cannot be mine
No, I wont believe it




Until I hear it
Until I hear it from you
