Tell Me Who
Tamia · Nu day
There's something on my mind
I can't hold in any longer
Turn around
Don't just turn the radio down
I don't wanna hear "oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh"
No, no, no (uh uh uh uh uh uh)
Wait a minute..
There's something I wanna say
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
Chorus:
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
You left home early
And you came home late (again)
I know there's something goin' on
Tell me what it is
What does she have that I don't?
Don't try to even lie
I just wanna know the truth
Last night while you were in my bed
You brought Cathy, Tracy, Trina home with you
Tell me
Chorus:
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
(I'll tell ya how I knew)
I could feel it in your touch
Ain't lovin' good enough, no
(Baby who's foolin' who?)
You come home tired all the time
And you don't let me get mine, no
(Now before I say we're through)
She played you for a fool
She can't love you like I do
You can say what you want to
But last night you brought someone home with you
Tell me
Chorus:
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was.
Chorus:
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was.
Tell Me Who
Tamia's 'Tell Me Who' stands as a defining track from her 2000 debut album 'Nu Day,' capturing the raw vulnerability of early 2000s R&B. The song showcases her signature blend of soulful vocals and introspective lyricism, exploring themes of uncertainty in relationships. As a centerpiece of her self-titled debut, the recording reflects the era's shift toward more personal and emotionally direct storytelling within the genre. Its enduring appeal lies in Tamia's ability to convey complex feelings of longing and self-doubt, making it a staple in discussions of her early career and the evolution of contemporary R&B. The track remains a testament to her status as a pioneering voice who bridged the gap between traditional soul and modern pop sensibilities.
