Lyrics

Tell Somebody

You scream
But your soul, your soul ain't sound
You scream 'cause you know it's a long way down
You reach, but your feet never left the ground

Tell somebody, please, please, please
Tell somebody, please, please, please
Please, please, please
Please, tell somebody

Tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody, tell somebody (you scream)
(But your soul ain't sound) tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody, tell somebody (you scream)
Tell somebody, tell somebody (you're the wrong way 'round)
Tell somebody

Everybody's anybody, many bodies know (tell somebody)
Many bodies feel the drop and everybody go
Everybody's anybody, many bodies know
Many bodies feel the drop and everybody go
