Tell No One About Tonight
Le Sport Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feel so right
baby try not to fight
the feelings tonight
it won’t cause any trouble
it won’t cause any pain
little or no disturbance
so let’s dance
I know youth was wasted
there were mistakes and regrets
it took me years to discover
but just this evening to forget
it won’t cause any fuzz
come on just this one time
a celebration of the past
but it will never last
so tell no one about tonight
The song "Tell No One About Tonight" by Le Sport is a story about a forbidden love that feels so right to the singer, but they cannot share it with anyone. The lyrics convey a sense of passion and attraction between two people who are aware of the wrongdoing but are surrendering themselves to their strong feelings for each other. The lines, "how can something so wrong feel so right" encapsulate the dilemma of the singer as they grapple with their conscience and the intensity of their emotions.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of their actions but is ready to take a leap of faith for the moment. They ask their partner to "try not to fight the feelings tonight" and assure them that this wouldn't cause any trouble, pain or disturbance. The verse, "I know youth was wasted, there were mistakes and regrets, it took me years to discover, but just this evening to forget" hints at a past experience of regret and missed opportunities. Still, the singer is willing to let go of their inhibitions and celebrate the present moment. However, they request their lover to keep this night a secret, emphasizing the fleeting nature of their bond.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the allure and intensity of a forbidden romance, where two people are caught up in the moment but cannot express themselves freely due to societal norms, moral obligations or fear of judgment. The lyrics are poignant, evocative and resonate with anyone who has experienced such an emotional conflict.

Danced to this with my ex-girlfriend many years ago, just before she left my country for good. A lot of good memories wrapped up in this song.
