The Zombies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no (oh, oh-oh)
No no no no no-no-no-no (don't take her love for your arms)
No no no no no, (uh, oh-oh)
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now
If she tells you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no (oh, oh-oh)
No no no no no-no-no-no (don't take her love for your arms)
No no no no no, (uh, oh-oh)
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
In the song โTell Her Noโ by The Zombies, the singer is warning a fellow man to not fall for the charms of a girl he is interested in, because her love already belongs to him. The song is essentially about jealousy and the fear of losing someone to another person. The lyrics plead with the man to resist the girl's advances and to remember that she had already professed her love to the singer. The repeated chorus of โno no no no no-no-no-noโ is a desperate plea to the man to not take the girl's love away from him.
Although the song's lyrics have a darker message, the music itself is quite upbeat and catchy, with a driving drum rhythm and catchy piano hooks. The song's melody is playful, which clashes with the singer's serious message about love and jealousy. This contrast between the lyrics and music creates an interesting juxtaposition, making it a unique song.
Overall, โTell Her Noโ is an emotionally charged song about love and jealousy that has a catchy melody that will have you humming it all day long.

Iโm 61 and am still certain that the 60s-70s (and even the 80s punk) is probably the best music produced after the death of Mozart.

This is one of the top five perfect two minute pop songs EVER!
The song was made for Colin to sing.
You can hear the pain in his voice.
This song is over fifty years old and still sounds as fresh and great as the day it was made and will always remain timeless.
The Zombies were way ahead of there time and are extremely underrated.
So glad they finally made the hall of fame.
Colin is one of the all time great singers and Rod Argent is one of the great all time songwriters!
Anna Forehan
And keyboard players. RA is a virtuoso.
James Murphy aka Butcher!
Love love them!
Melinda de los Santos
They made the Hall of Fame?๐ค
