Tell Me About It
Michele Luppi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

...And maybe we're afraid to waste it
Maybe it has been said before
I've never wanted to judge your faith
Never wanted you to let it go

(Ooh, tell me about it)
(Ooh, tell me about it)
You've gotta tell me about it now

Don't need to watch yourself on the screen
Don't need to tell me how you feel
You don't need to prove yourself
That you can't get better than this

And you say:
"I don't need a doctor and I don't need a priest.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
All my life I waited to find someone like me.
Don't wanna share my dreams and nightmares
With someone I don't know.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
I just keep my secrets.
Nobody'll ever know."

I just wanna take a look at the pages of your heart
(Pages of your heart)
I'm gonna find an empty place
Where I sign my name and yours
You've gotta tell me about it
(Tell me about it)

Tell me about you now
(Ooh, tell me about it)
You've gotta tell me about it
Yeah, you've gotta tell me now

We've been listening for so long
Now we're learning how to talk
But you keep holding your arms up in the air
And you don't know what to say
(Don't know what to say)

There are very few things that really matter
We keep hiding the truth behind ourselves
I feel here comes the time to let it show
We'll find out that's never been there...

And you say:
"I don't need a doctor and I don't need a priest.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
All my life I waited to find someone like me.
Don't wanna share my dreams and nightmares
With someone I don't know.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
I just keep my secrets.
Nobody'll ever know."

I just wanna take a look at the pages of your heart
(Pages of your heart)
I'm gonna find an empty place
Where I sign my name and yours
You've gotta tell me about it
(Tell me about it)

Tell me about you now
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Whoa, you've gotta tell me about it
Ooh, you've gotta tell me about it now
Mmm, yeah

Ooh, you've gotta tell me about it
(Tell me about it)
(Are you gonna tell me? Are you gonna tell me baby?)
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Oh, you've gotta tell me about it
Oh, come on... Whoo!

And you say:
"I don't need a doctor and I don't need a priest.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
All my life I waited to find someone like me.
Don't wanna share my dreams and nightmares
With someone I don't know.
(Ooh, tell me about it)
I just keep my secrets.
Nobody'll ever know... No! No!

Whoo! Whoo!
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Woah, you've gotta tell me about it
Mmm, tell me about you baby
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Ooh, yeah, you gotta tell me about it
Tell me about you girl, girl...
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Tell me about it baby
I wanna know what lies inside of you
(Ooh, tell me about it)
Please...




Tell me...
About you.
