Tell Me
Brian McKnight · Back at One
I wanna tell ya
I believe that you could very well complete me
I hang on every word you say
Think about you all night and day
It�s not fate, it�s destiny
And if you feel the same way
Chorus:
Tell me how you feel and what you need
Tell me all the secrets that you keep
Tell me what you want
Call me and it�s on tonight
Let me kiss all your tears away
Call me anytime of night or day
Tell me what you want
Call me and it�s on tonight
You got a strong mind and you do your own thing
I�d never stop you
Don�t have to be in control of everything
Together we are the gold
Together we�re gold
And the dough won�t ever be spent
Give it half a chance
I know we�ll win
Girl if you feel the same way
Chorus
You�re the one I�ve been searching for
The first time I ever opened the door
You cast your spell
And it�s taken over me
You take me up
Then you bring me down slow
My pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
If you believe in me
And you care for me
You�ll be there for me
Then tell me...
Chorus out
