Tell Her No
The Zombies · Live At The Bloomsbury Theatre London [2007]
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 definitive example of their late 1960s psychedelic rock sound, characterized by intricate guitar harmonies and a driving, rhythmic pulse. Originally recorded for the live album 'Live At The Bloomsbury Theatre London [2007]', the track captures the band's transition from their earlier mod-pop era into a more complex, improvisational style that drew comparisons to The Beatles and The Who. The song features the group's signature vocal interplay, with lead singer Rod Stewart delivering a melodic performance that balances vulnerability with the band's characteristic energy. While often associated with their studio hits like 'Odessey and Oracle', this live rendition highlights the raw power of their performance capabilities. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the band's ability to craft memorable melodies that have endured through decades of musical evolution.
