Tell Me
Pierre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me
Please, tell me something that I don't know
I know, that I can be a bit of a showboat
But not for you, I want you all to myself
Keep a grip on you tighter than the notch in my belt
Yeah I know it's not Gucci
Best I can do is some Polo
Don't have a lot of money but I plan to have boatloads
After I put the game in a choke hold
We're two peas inside a pod thought that I'd be better off solo
I don't know what I'd do if we had to part ways
You're the shining light on all of my dark days
It's wrong to compare so I try my best not to
But you're the best I've had so baby I got to
It's all good 'cause I never loved them anyway
Playground rules, I'd pick you first on any day
Don't get it twisted, I'm not tryna play your heart
If life were a song you know you'd be my favorite part
Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me




Tell me, that you love me
Tell me, that you love me
