Tell You
Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique Lyrics

Usually I hate every guy that I meet
Typically, I have a strong dislike for every man I come across.

But there's something 'bout the way you look at me
However, there is something special about the way you gaze upon me.

Usually I keep all my thoughts to myself
Normally, I conceal all of my thoughts and emotions within.

But you're the first one I wanna tell
But you, you are the very first person I desire to confide in.

All the drama with my mama, things I can't tell my friends
The complications and conflicts involving my mother, the things I cannot disclose to my friends.

When I tell you, you don't look at me different
Yet, when I disclose these matters to you, you do not perceive me in a changed manner.

And I wanna tell you everything, every little detail
Moreover, I am compelled to share with you every aspect, even the most minute details.

How I got the scar above my left eye from a kid in middle school
For instance, I wish to narrate the story of how I acquired the scar above my left eye, a consequence of an incident with a peer during my time in middle school.

When I wrote my first song, how I got my heart broke
Additionally, I yearn to express the experience of composing my inaugural song, along with the heartbreak I endured.

By some guy I wish I never met, he gave me my first smoke
Caused by an individual whom I deeply regret crossing paths with, he bestowed upon me my first encounter with smoking.

All the secrets I've been keeping, my prayers and my sins
Furthermore, I wish to divulge all the hidden truths I have been guarding, including my private supplications and transgressions.

Yeah, things seem so much more clear to me now
Indeed, my perception of things has become considerably more lucid at present.

'Cause you let me talk it all out
This is largely due to the fact that you grant me the opportunity to vocally express my thoughts and feelings.

I don't know how I lived life before you
I find myself unaware of how I managed to navigate through life prior to your presence.

You see all my ugly and love me for the truth
You witness all of my flaws and imperfections, yet you love and accept me for the authenticity I present.

All my drunk texts, my regrets, nights I wanna forget
The entirety of my inebriated text messages, my remorseful sentiments, and the nights I long to erase from memory.

You know them and you don't look at me different
You are aware of all these occurrences, and still, your perception of me remains unaltered.

If I get a record deal, speeding ticket
In the event that I secure a lucrative music contract, or perhaps receive a citation for exceeding the speed limit.

Double-wide trailer, a house with a picket
Whether I find myself residing in a spacious mobile home, or a traditional house with a white picket fence.

Life gets hard, I'm the first to admit it
Acknowledging that life can become arduous, I am unhesitant in admitting this reality.

In some weird way, I think that you get it
Strangely enough, I sense that you possess a deep understanding of this truth.

I'll tell you the whole story, beginning to end
I shall recount the entire narrative, from its inception to its conclusion.

I wanna tell you everything
My desire is to convey the utmost transparency by disclosing everything to you.

I'll tell you everything
I will not hold back any information; I am prepared to reveal it all.
