Tell Me Why
Morgan feat. Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shoulda known better
You'd come back my way
So unexpected
You don't want her that way
Swear that you're different
But I'm not gonna fall
Now that you see me
You know where you belong

Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now
Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now

You tried to replace me
But you couldn't forget
That no one can love you
The way that I did
You keep on begging
I'll sure entertain
Go 'head and look don't touch
Can't have it both ways

Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now
Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now

Baby persuade me
Maybe just maybe
I'll let you come around
Prove it don't lose it
I get to choose it
Just don't let me down
Baby persuade me
Maybe just maybe
I'll let you come around
Prove it don't lose it
I get to choose it
Not this time around

Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now
Tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
Tell me you need it
Tell me you love me now

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me




Tell me
Tell me
