Tell me,
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 away
And melted like the snow?
Tell me.
Tell me.

Tell me,
What are you focused upon?
Tell me,
What I'll know better after you're gone.
Tell me quick
With a glance or a sigh
Shall I hold you close?
Or let you go by?
Tell me.
Tell me.

Is that the heat and the beat
Of your pulse that I feel?
If it's not that,
What is it you're trying to conceal?
Do you have any secrets
That will only come out in time?
Do you lie in your bed
And stare at the stars?
Is your main friend an old known
Acquaintance of ours?
Tell me.
Tell me.

Tell me,
Are those rock and 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?
Tell me.
Tell me.

Is this some kind of game
That you're playin' with my heart?
How deep must I go,
Where do I start?
Do you have any morals?
Do you have any point of view?
Is that a smile
I see on your face?
Will it lead me to glory
Or lead me to disgrace?
Tell me.
Tell me.

Tell me
Is that my name in your book?
Tell me
Should I come back and take another look?
Tell me the truth,
Don't you tell me no lies.
Are you anyone, someone
Prays for or cries?
Tell me.
Tell me.
