Don't Tell Me, Tell Her Lyrics
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Whenever said this love was forevermore.
But in my heart, you came and I closed the door.
And now I see that "Sorry, girl" look in your eyes.
I know she's back in town again.
Don't bring her back into our lives.
Don't tell me, tell her (Ooh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, (You better tell her, baby.)
It's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (I don't wanna hear it.)
It's over, (No, no.) it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Whenever you call,
Ain't I the only one who always takes the time to be with you,
Be with you?
Whenever you fall,
Ain't I the only one who always been there to pick you up
And turn your gray skies blue?
(Don't let go) Don't let go of me, baby.
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
Don't tell me, tell her (Ooh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
(Don't let go) Don't let go, baby.
(Don't you know) Don't you know, baby.
Turn around.
Everything you need is here.
Don't tell me, tell her (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.)
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, (You better tell her.) it's over/
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, it's over. (Tell it to her.)
Don't tell me, tell her (I don't wanna hear it, baby.)
It's over, it's over. (Baby)
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
(Don't let go) Don't let go of me, baby.
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.)
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, oh, ohhh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, (You better tell her.) it's over.
(Don't let go) Don't let go of me, baby.
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
But in my heart, you came and I closed the door.
And now I see that "Sorry, girl" look in your eyes.
I know she's back in town again.
Don't bring her back into our lives.
It's over, (You better tell her, baby.)
It's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (I don't wanna hear it.)
It's over, (No, no.) it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ain't I the only one who always takes the time to be with you,
Be with you?
Whenever you fall,
Ain't I the only one who always been there to pick you up
And turn your gray skies blue?
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
(Don't you know) Don't you know, baby.
Turn around.
Everything you need is here.
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, (You better tell her.) it's over/
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, it's over. (Tell it to her.)
Don't tell me, tell her (I don't wanna hear it, baby.)
It's over, it's over. (Baby)
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.)
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her (Oh, oh, ohhh, don't you tell me.)
It's over, (You better tell her.) it's over.
(Don't you know) I'd be lost without you.
(Turn around) Turn around and come back here.
Please don't say we're through.
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
Don't tell me, tell her
It's over, it's over.
