[Verse 1]
Tell me, I've got to know
Tell me, tell me before I go
Does that flame still burn? Does that fire still glow?
Or has it died out and melted like the snow?

[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me

[Verse 2]
Tell me, what are you focused upon?
Tell me, will it come to me after you're gone?
Tell me quick with a glance or a sigh
Shall I hold you close or let you go by?

[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me

[Verse 3]
Is that the heat and the beat of your pulse that I feel?
If it's not that then what are you tryin' to conceal?
Do you have any secrets
That will only come out in time?
Do you lay in your bed?
Do you stare at the stars?
Is your main friend someone who's an old acquaintance of ours?
[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me

[Verse 4]
Tell me, are those rock'n'roll dreams in your eyes?
Tell me, behind what door your treasure lies
Ever gone broke in a big way?
Ever done the opposite of what the experts say?

[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me

[Verse 5]
Is this some kind of game that you’re playing’ with my heart?
How deep must I go? When do I start?
Do you have any morals?
Do you have any point of view?
Is that a smile that I see on your face?
Will it lead me to glory or lead me to disgrace?

[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me
[Verse 6]
Tell me, is that man's name in your book?
Tell me, will you go back and take another look?
Tell me the truth, don't tell me no lies
Are you anybody's someone prays for or cries?

[Refrain]
Tell me
Tell me
