Lyrics

Tell Me

[Verse 1]

I want you back again

I want your love again

I know you find it hard to reason with me

But this time it's different, darlin', you'll see

[Chorus]

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

[Verse 2]

You said we're through before

You walked out on me before

I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to know

And this time you're different and determined to go

[Chorus]

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

[Verse 3]

I wait as the days go by

I long for the nights to go by

I hear the knock on my door but they're never home

I hear the telephone that hasn't rung

[Chorus]

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta tell me you're comin' back to me

You gotta
