Tell Her
Rizzle Kicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the boys and girls that could not make their moves,
So they get their friends to do the do?
Well that's how I feel for you
'Cause I can't approach you,
No not today,
So I sit back in the corner,
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm feeling shy
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm not that guy
You've taken my fancy, you're catching my eye,
You've taken my fancy tonight
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
It seems I haven't got the tools, yeah,
To build my courage, baby ask you if you're cool
I've sink into to the wall,
And I'm waiting for a chance, baby us to cross our paths
'Cause I can't approach you,
No not today (No not today)
So I sit back in the corner
Get my friends to say (Get my friends to say)
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm feeling shy
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm not that guy
You've taken my fancy, you're catching my eye,
You've taken my fancy tonight
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her that I love, love her
Tell her that I love, love her
Tell her that I
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm feeling shy
Tell her I love her 'cause I'm not that guy
You've taken my fancy, you're catching my eye,
You've taken my fancy tonight
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
Tell her I love her, tell her I love her
In Rizzle Kicks's song "Tell Her," the lyrics describe a common theme of feeling too shy to approach someone that one is interested in. The lyrics harken back to the days of primary school, where many boys and girls were too nervous to approach their crushes, so they would have their friends do it for them. The artist admits that he is in the same boat, unable to build the courage to ask out the girl he desires, so he enlists the help of his friends.
The repetition of the phrase "Tell her I love her" emphasizes the intensity of the artist's feelings for the girl, yet he is unable to express them to her directly. His shyness and lack of confidence prevent him from taking action, and he is resigned to sit in the corner and wait for an opportunity where "our paths cross."
The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding listeners of a simpler time in their lives when they were just starting to explore romantic feelings, but also reveals the universal feeling of being too scared to act on those feelings. It is a wistful yet relatable song about the power of attraction and the fear it can inspire.
