Tell Her No
The Zombies · Extended Versions [2013]
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
And if she should tell you "I love you"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love for your arms)
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now
If she tells you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love from my arms)
No no no no no
Don't leave her now for her love belongs to me
Tell Her No
The Zombies' "Tell Her No" stands as a quintessential example of their late 1960s psychedelic pop sound, characterized by lush harmonies and a driving rhythm section. Originally recorded for the band's 2013 compilation "Extended Versions," the track captures the group's signature blend of R&B influences and experimental studio techniques that defined their era. While often associated with their most famous hit, "Time of the Season," this song showcases the band's versatility and their ability to craft atmospheric, emotionally resonant tracks. The recording reflects the musical landscape of the early 60s, where The Zombies were pivotal in shaping the British Invasion with their unique take on rock and roll. It remains a staple of their discography, illustrating their enduring appeal and contribution to the genre.
