Tell Me You Love Me (Rock Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, no, here we go again
Fighting over what I said
I'm sorry
Yeah, I'm sorry
Bad at love, no, I'm not good at this
But I can't say I'm innocent
Not hardly
But I'm sorry

[Pre-Chorus]
And all my friends, they know and it's true
I don't know who I am without you
I got it bad, baby
Got it bad

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me you love me
I need someone
On days like this, I do
On days like this
Oh, tell me you love me
I need someone
On days like this, I do
On days like this
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, can you hear my heart say?
(Woah, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
They say you ain't nobody 'til you got somebody
You ain't nobody 'til you got somebody

[Verse 2]
And I hope I never see the day
That you move on and be happy
Without me (Without me)
Without me (Without me)
Oh, what's my hand without your heart to hold?
I don't know what I'm livin' for
If I'm livin' (If I'm livin')
Without you, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
All my friеnds, they know and it's true
I don't know who I am without you
I got it bad, baby
I got it bad

[Chorus]
Oh, tell mе you love me (Ooh)
I need someone
On days like this, I do
On days like this
Oh, tell me you love me
I need someone
On days like this, I do
On days like this
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, can you hear my heart say?
(Woah, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
They say you ain't nobody 'til you got somebody
You ain't nobody 'til you got somebody
My heart's like
(Woah, oh-oh) Ooh
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
They say you ain't nobody 'til you got somebody
You ain't nobody 'til you got somebody

[Bridge]
Everything I need
Is standin' right in front of me
I know that we will be alright, alright, yeah
Through the ups and downs
Baby, I'ma stick around
I promise we will be alright

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me you love me
I need someone
On days like this, I do
On days like this
Oh, tell me you love me
I need someone (Yeah)
On days like this, I do (Days like this)
On days like this (Oh, woah)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, can you hear my heart say?
(Woah, oh-oh) Hear my heart say
(Oh, oh, oh-oh) Hear my heart say
They say you ain't nobody 'til you got somebody
You ain't nobody 'til you got somebody

[Outro]
Everything I need (Oh)
Is standin' right in front of me (Oh)
I know that we will be alright, alright, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Why did Lovato decide to add a new lyric "they say" into the chorus?
Genius Answer

I interject a little because I don’t want that negative connotation of ‘You’re only somebody if you’re with somebody’ and that’s something that’s always bugged me about the song as I’ve performed it on the road.

What did Demi Lovato say about "Tell Me You Love Me (Rock Version)"?
Genius Answer

I think “Tell Me You Love Me” was the one that felt really tough to translate into a new genre of music. The vocals are just so soulful on that one, and so trying to keep it soulful while also amping it up for this record was pretty difficult. Ultimately, I think we made it work — it turned out really great.
