And You Tell Me Lyrics

A cute underappreciated gem. Basically about a guy wanting to have another go at a relationship that didn't work the first time around. With all the conditions he is imposing this time around too, one wonders if it will work this time too. Still, he is willing to have a go but still somwhat scared of being hurt again. After all, it the ones u truly love who can really hurt you.

The song is sorta like We Can Work It Out by the Beatles lyrically in that the protagonist is very self-centred still and you can see how it might not work out. Notice that this one protagonist says that he is coming back 'for your sake' and not for his own. Mock pride i guess, or mebbe a character flaw ?

Either way a gem.
