CONNIE PRICE & THE KEYSTONES – TELL ME

Lyrics

I wouldn't call in the midnight hour
I wouldn't tuck you in and turn the nightlight out
You would walk through the door and I wouldn't say hi
I would walk out the door and wouldn't say bye-bye
It's funny that I never thought about it that way
I never knew the things that I did not say
But you were lonely and you were hungry
And I was living in my own world
Thinking I'm a perfect lady
You should've told me
I wasn't small enough
You should've told me
I didn't call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never should've wasted this time
You should've told me
I wasn't wild enough
You should've told me
I didn't smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never should've wasted this time
I wasn't there to help you take your clothes off
When it was time for work didn't see you off
When your tense didn't give a massage
I never told you I think you're hot
It's funny I never thought about it that way
Never knew the things I did not say
But you were lonely and you were hungry
And I was living in my own world
Thinking I'm a perfect lady
You should've told me
I wasn't small enough
You should've told me
I didn't call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never should've wasted this time
You should've told me
I wasn't wild enough
You should've told me
I didn't smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never should've wasted this time
When you thought you had to lie
Why didn't you come and tell me why?
Didn't you see those tears I cried?
Oh why?
You should've told me
I wasn't small enough
You should've told me
I didn't call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never should've wasted this time
You should've told me
I wasn't wild enough
You should've told me
I didn't smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never should've wasted this time
(repeat until song ends)

Paroles (Traduction)

Je ne t'appellerais pas à minuit
Je ne te borderais pas et n'éteindrais pas la veilleuse
Tu rentrerais par la porte et je ne dirais pas bonjour
Je sortirais par la porte et ne dirais pas au revoir
C'est drôle que je n'y aie jamais pensé de cette manière
Je ne connaissais pas les choses que je n'ai pas dites
Mais tu étais seul et tu avais faim
Et j'étais plongée dans mon propre monde
Pensant être une dame parfaite
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'étais pas assez attentionnée
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'appelais pas assez
Mais tu m'as laissée espérer
Et continuer
Et nous n'aurions jamais dû gaspiller ce temps
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'étais pas assez sauvage
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je ne souriais pas assez
Ce que tu avais en tête
M'a fait perdre la tête
Et nous n'aurions jamais dû gaspiller ce temps
Je n'étais pas là pour t'aider à enlever tes vêtements
Quand il était temps de partir au travail, je ne t'ai pas vu partir
Quand tu étais tendu, je ne t'ai pas massé
Je ne t'ai jamais dit que je te trouvais attirant
C'est drôle, je n'y ai jamais pensé de cette manière
Je ne connaissais pas les choses que je n'ai pas dites
Mais tu étais seul et tu avais faim
Et j'étais plongée dans mon propre monde
Pensant être une dame parfaite
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'étais pas assez attentionnée
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'appelais pas assez
Mais tu m'as laissée espérer
Et continuer
Et nous n'aurions jamais dû gaspiller ce temps
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je n'étais pas assez sauvage
Tu aurais dû me dire
Que je ne
