[Verse 1]
I get out my records
When you go away
When people are talking
I miss what they say

[Chorus]
'Cause it all means nothing, my dear
If I can't be holdin' you near
So tell me you love me
'Cause that's all that I need to hear

[Verse 2]
I sit in my kitchen (George, do the hihats now)
With nothing to eat
With so many friends I
I don't wanna meet

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need music in my ears
I don't need the crowds and the cheers
Oh, just tell me you love me
'Cause that's all that I need to hear

[Bridge]
I've been told so many times before
But hearin' it from you means much more
So much more
[Verse 3]
Reply to my message
And pick up my calls
You see, I wrote you a letter
It was no use at all

[Chorus]
Oh, I don't care if you're insincere
Just tell me what I wanna hear
You know where to find me
The place where we lived all these years, oh
And tell me you love me
That's all that I need to hear
Oh, tell me you love me
That's all that I need to hear
