[Verse 1]
And if I was wrong
I know I don't deserve this, yeah
Don't stay too long
I need to hear those words you used to tell me
From way back when we were just friends
Before this love affair began

[Chorus]
Tell me how "I love you" wins
Over how a broken heart can't mend
Just tell me this is not the end
Please tell me now
How the fairy tale begins
Over how it was supposed to end
Please tell me that part again

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me now, yeah (Tell me now, baby)
Tell me now, yeah (Again, baby)
Tell me now (Woo)

[Verse 2]
Now, tell me, what's wrong?
I never meant to hurt you, no, baby
Ooh, was it the home, the car?
Or, darling, all those things we thought we needed?
Well, tell me even if it ain't true
But baby, please don't say we're through
[Chorus]
No, no (Tell me how)
Tell me how "I love you" wins ("Love you" wins)
Yeah, over how a broken heart can't mend, mend (Heart can't mend)
Just tell me this is not the end
Please tell me now, tell me now, baby (Tell me now)
How the fairy tale begins (Tale begins)
Over how it was supposed to end (S'posed to end)
Please tell me that part again

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me now, yeah (Tell me now, baby)
Tell me now, yeah (Work it out, darling)
Tell me now

[Bridge]
I wanna know that feeling that's from way back
A time when it was true, that love was sweet and innocent
When you and I could still be friends
Make all the wrong bits right again
Where true love never has to end

[Chorus]
Ooh, tell me how (Tell me how)
Tell me how "I love you" wins ("Love you" wins)
Over how a broken heart, if it's gonna really mend (Heart can't mend)
Just tell me this is not the end
Please tell me now, tell me now, baby (Tell me now)
How the fairy tale begins (Tale begins)
Over how it was supposed to end (S'posed to end)
Please tell me that part again
[Outro]
Ooh, babe
(Tell me how) I need to know, ooh
("Love you" wins) Ooh, babe, la-la-la-la-la
(Heart can't mend) La-la-la-la, la, ooh
Oh!
(Tell me now) Oh, baby, woo, yeah-yeah
(Tale begins) La-la-la-la-la-la, la, la
(S'posed to end) Hey
Tell me that part again
