Tell Me You Love Me Lyrics

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl... girl... girl...

I love you so hard now, I'm cryin' for you
Don't make me lose my pride
I want to come inside
And grab a hold of you, baby
And grab a hold of you

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Now... now... now...

I want to feel it, give me your love now
Don't make me steal it, don't make me steal it

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me,
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me!
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me,
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me!

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl... girl... girl...

I love you so hard now, I'm cryin' for you
Burnin' with fire, I gotta hot desire

'Cause I gotta make love with you,
'Cause I gotta make love with you, baby
'Cause I gotta make love with you,
'Cause I gotta make love with you

Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to

Aahh, yeah!

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.

Cover art for Tell Me You Love Me lyrics by Frank Zappa

From remarks by Howard and by Pauline Butcher we can confirm the real meaning of this song. Though not recorded as such, this is meant to be a duet in the same vein as the "do you love me forever" part of "Paradise By The Dashboard Light". It was meant to be part of the Groupie Opera - where, in an alternate version of the story, instead of the groupie saying "I can't cum unless you sing me your hit record", she said "I can't cum unless you tell me that you love me". To which the musician, who'd been enthusing over bondage and bestiality moments ago, replies "wait! that's going too far!"
Cue this song - you work out who sings which bits. (The next chapter in this version of the opera was of course Magic Fingers).
