Tell Me Something Good
P!nk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that will sure 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
I got something that will knock all your pride aside

Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me
Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah

Got no time is what you're known to say
I'll make you wish there were 48 hours to each day
Problem is you ain't been loved like you should
What i got to give will sure 'nuff do you good

Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me




Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah
