Lyrics Tell Me So (1947) - Dinah Washington

Tell Me So (1947)

Like lights flashed on subway cars
She shines on something sad in dark
Scream through grey and filthy space
Hurdleing towards some secret place
My high school sweetheart had pretty blue eyes
She’s the reason to wake up in someone else’s life
I swear to God sometimes I can hear her say
If this is what you want just let me know
Just let me know
But if this is love, Love
Someone tell me so
And if this is love, Love
I won’t let it go
We travel light just for effect
To love struck girls and shattered things
All the while we smile and think of comfort that the darkness brings
These linking roads won’t carry us home
The sky lays a blanket of virgin white snow
Is anyone listening or am I alone?
And this is the place she was starving to fit in
And I’m a mistake she wanted to live with
But if this is love, Love
Someone tell me so
And if this is love, Love
I won’t let it go
You don’t gotta keep me but tonight please keep me warm
You don’t gotta keep me but tonight please keep me warm
But if this is love, Love
Someone tell me so
And if this is love, Love
I won’t let it go
I won’t, I won’t let it go
Oh If this is love Love Love
Someone tell me so If it’s not love
Love, Oh Please let me go
