[Verse 1]
Tell me, baby, is it yes or no?
You've got a face that just don't show
What's going on inside?
Tell me
I swear, I'll take it on the chin
Don't sugarcoat where I fit in
What's going on?

[Chorus]
Inside you, theres a room, a room with a door
I finally come knocking and I've been here before
Oh, I've got this love for you, but what is it for?
If you can hear me, then tell me

[Verse 2]
Last chance
Hold me in your arms and say
If you want this love to walk away
Tell me, and I'll say goodbye

[Chorus]
Inside you, theres a room, a room with a door
I finally come knocking and I've been here before
Oh, I've got this love for you, but what is it for?
If you can hear me, then tell me

[Bridge]
I'll make it easy
I'm counting to three
Am I something you want or someone you need?

[Breakdown]
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love me, baby
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love me
Just tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love me

[Outro]
Tell me, darling won't you tell me
I'm begging you to tell me
Tell me and I'll say goodbye

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
