[Chorus]
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk?
Honey, what's up with you?
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down?
Honey, won't you please tell me?

[Verse 1]
Good intentions ain't too good no more
Answer questions by slammin' that bedroom door
Come on baby, let's turn the lamp down low
I'll solve your problems so honey, please don't go

[Chorus]
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk?
Honey, what's up with you?
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down?
Honey, won't you please tell me?

[Refrain]
Tell me lover
Tell me lover
[Verse 2]
Now if the silence could kill, honey, we'd both been dead
Ain't hard to tell we're hangin' on by a thread
Say somethin' darlin', say what's on your mind
And we'll find the answer, I got nothin' but time

[Chorus]
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk?
Honey, what's up with you?
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down?
Honey, won't you please tell me?

[Chorus]
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down?
Honey, won't you please tell me?

[Outro]
Yeah, tell me lover
Tell me lover
I say, tell me lover
Tell me lover
Tell me lover
Tell me lover
