In early January 2007, Billboard listed Young Love as one of "2007's Best Bets" for the year, and described their album as "...the kind of pop that we've been missing: melodic, catchy, smart and as young and in love-with the ubiquitous 'she'-as Romeo...". On January 3, 2007, MTV premiered the video for the band's newest single, "Find A New Way". In addition, the single will serve as the theme song for the network's new Jennifer Lopez-produced reality series, DanceLife, which premiered January 15, 2007.
January 30, 2007 was the official release of Young Love's full-length debut, Too Young to Fight It. The album includes both "Discotech" and "Tragedy" along with nine more original songs. In February, the band will start a tour, playing shows with several different acts including Foreign Islands, Morors Eros, and Federalist.
Their sophomore album titled "One of Us" is due out on April 28th, 2009.
Tell Me
Young Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been selling me, but I'm not buying
What would you do? Tell me, tell me
What would you do?
Every time you talk, you complicate this life
Lost focus when I close my eyes
Now they're open and I realize
Think you're special think you're smart
And you're pulling me apart
(What would you do?)
If you knew what I do (tell me)
What were you expecting (tell me)
Did you think I would get mad
Fall down, break in two (What would you say)
Never thought it would come to this (tell me)
But you got so reckless (tell me)
I'm not blind, I just wish I could not see
(What would you do?)
Held on to you, fell into you
My last hope of dreams come true
If you died on your lips last night
Trying to tell me lies
Could not even tell me truthfully
And you wanna know how it makes me feel?
I can't feel anything
(What would you do?)
If you knew what I do (tell me)
What were you expecting (tell me)
Did you think I would get mad
Fall down, break in two (What would you say)
Never thought it would come to this (tell me)
But you got so reckless (tell me)
I'm not blind, I just wish I could not see
(What would you do?)
Tell me
What would you say?
Tell me
What would you do?
If you knew what I do
Tell me, what were you expecting?
Tell me, did you think I would get mad
Fall down, break in two
What would you say?
Never thought it would come to this
Tell me, but you got so reckless
Tell me, I'm not blind I just wish I could not see
If you knew what I do
What were you expecting
You got so reckless
Never thought it would come to this
