[Refrain]
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do

[Verse 1]
To make you notice
To make you look this way
What do I have to say?
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I have to say

[Verse 2]
To keep you with me
To make you want to stay
To have you every day
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do

[Verse 3]
Are you happy?
I can never tell
You keep it to yourself
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what it is you feel

[Bridge]
Do you get frightened?
Am I comin' on just a little strong?
And you're so quiet
I never know or not if I'm right or wrong
[Refrain]
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do

[Verse 4]
Is there somethin'
I ought to be told
Do you want to go?
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what it is you know

[Verse 5]
So it's over
And we're really through?
What I heard is true
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you're gonna do

[Verse 6]
To keep you with me
To make you want to stay
To have you every day
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do

[Outro]
Tell me
Won't you tell me?
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do
Oh no
Woah, girl
Won't you just, now
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what I gotta do
Oh, stay
