Now You Tell Me Lyrics
Jordin Sparks
Is there anything that can make you happy?
I don't know what to say to make it better
Seeing you like this, down and hurt so badly
When you have been so kept together
What's this?
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
[Chorus:]
You're in love, but that's not what it was
All those times that passed by with no signs
And now you're telling me
You miss me, boy why couldn't I see?
And my heart don't agree with what you're telling me
You were nonchalant, strong, and unaffected
And you never wanted me to be there
I never saw your heart, that's how close you kept it
So right now I'm so unsure how to care
What's this?
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
[Chorus x2]
No attention was given
No affection from you to heal the hurt
I was hoping
I was wishing
Just to listen and to hear those words
[Chorus x2]
I don't know what to say to make it better
Seeing you like this, down and hurt so badly
When you have been so kept together
What's this?
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
[Chorus:]
You're in love, but that's not what it was
All those times that passed by with no signs
And now you're telling me
You miss me, boy why couldn't I see?
And my heart don't agree with what you're telling me
You were nonchalant, strong, and unaffected
And you never wanted me to be there
I never saw your heart, that's how close you kept it
So right now I'm so unsure how to care
What's this?
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
[Chorus x2]
No attention was given
No affection from you to heal the hurt
I was hoping
I was wishing
Just to listen and to hear those words
[Chorus x2]
