[Verse 1]
Sad, sad story, about all the things I've heard
Now baby, there's something on my mind
You said I was your true love
But I hear you're fooling 'round
I got to know girl what's going down
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me, where do we go from here and
Are you just playing me for a fool
Ooo, lover, I'm tired of people talking
Why don't you tell me girl if we're through
Why can't I hear it from you
[Verse 2]
Everybody's talking
They say you're leaving me
They say you don't want me no more
Oh baby
I need some understanding
Ooo, tell me who's right and who's wrong
Baby yea
Do I stay with you, do I move along
Oh, tell me, don't have me going crazy
Please don't you keep me hanging on
Ooh I, I can't stand it
Wondering if you still love me
Wondering if what they say is true
I want to hear it from you
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me, where do we go from here and
Please don't you keep me hanging on
Ooh i, I can't stand it
Wondering if you still love me
Wondering if what they say is true
[Bridge]
Please tell me baby if it's true
Tell me baby
Tell me baby what's on your mind
Tell me baby
Tell me yeah (what's on your mind)
Tell me, tell me yeah
[Verse 3]
Wait a minute, tired of people talking
Tired of all my friends telling me about you
Yo see, looking for some understanding
I've got to know right now girl if it's true
Don't keep me hanging on baby
Can't you see me standing here asking you
[Outro]
Come on and tell me
Don't hurt me baby
Tell me yeah
Love me girl or leave me alone
Tell me, tell me yeah
Don't tease me
Tell me (don't tease me baby)
Tell me yeah
Oh, tell me, tell me yeah
(don't tease me honey)
Tell me, tell me yeah
Sad, sad story, about all the things I've heard
Now baby, there's something on my mind
You said I was your true love
But I hear you're fooling 'round
I got to know girl what's going down
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me, where do we go from here and
Are you just playing me for a fool
Ooo, lover, I'm tired of people talking
Why don't you tell me girl if we're through
Why can't I hear it from you
[Verse 2]
Everybody's talking
They say you're leaving me
They say you don't want me no more
Oh baby
