Tell Me Lyrics

You can't tell me, you can't tell me
You can't tell me anything

I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answers to everything

There's only me, so suggest what I do
I am the garage flower

I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
And there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answers to everything
I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
And there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
Tell me, tell me
You can't tell us anything

You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

((???))

I am the garage flower
I am the garage flower

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Don't know why you would. Simplistic and pointless, poor lyrics that say absolutely nothing.

inpraiseoffolly, all lyrics say something. whether you understand or relate to them or not. just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything to the rest of the world.

the lyrics arent the stone roses best, i will admit. ian's voice is however terrific in this, and the tune is catchy and happy.

maybe ian didn't need to say much more than that in this song. going into too much detail isn't what the songs about. it's about saying your piece and fucking off. repetition is also linked with the teenage "nothing can change my mind" sort of view.

sometimes simplicity is better, never heard that phrase, inpraiseoffolly?
