[Title: Just Tell Me] [Intro - Soft Piano, Warm Acoustic Guitar] [Verse 1] You reach for my hand when we’re out somewhere, Scratch my back when we’re lying there. You hold me close when the lights go low, There’s a thousand little ways you let me know. But I can spend an hour fixing my hair, Pick out my best dress, take extra care. Walk right past you, and you’ll say nothing at all, Like you don’t even notice me walking down the hall. [Pre-Chorus] I look in the mirror and like what I see, I just wish you’d say something sweet to me. [Chorus] Just tell me I’m beautiful, tell me what you see, Tell me what you love when you’re looking at me. I don’t need a poem, don’t need a grand display, Just a few sweet words you don’t have to be asked to say. I know you love me, I feel it in your touch, But after all these years, is it really asking too much? I know who I am, and I know what I’m worth, I just want to hear it from the man I love most on earth. Just tell me. [Verse 2] I ask if I look good, you say, “Sure,” I smile and look away, wishing you’d say more. I spend time on my hair, apply my makeup with care, Then wait for you to notice, hoping you’ll stop and stare. I’m not asking you to change the man you are, I just want to know I still have your heart. I don’t need grand gestures or promises from above, I just want to hear the words that make me feel your love. [Pre-Chorus] I can love myself but I still want to hear You tell me I’m pretty when you’re holding me near. [Chorus] Just tell me I’m beautiful, tell me what you see, Tell me what you love when you’re looking at me. I don’t need a poem, don’t need a grand display, Just a few sweet words you don’t have to be asked to say. I know you love me, I feel it in your touch, But after all these years, is it really asking too much? I know who I am, and I know what I’m worth, I just want to hear it from the man I love most on earth. Just tell me. [Bridge - Piano and Vocal, Intimate and Vulnerable] I know you think I already know, I feel your love in the other ways you show. You hold me close, you’re always there, But hearing that means more than you’re aware. It’s not about the words being perfectly right, Just hearing you say them would make my night. You don’t have to find some perfect thing to say, Just tell me how I look in your own sweet way. [Final Chorus - Full Country Soul Arrangement] Just tell me I’m beautiful, Just tell me I shine, Tell me you’re still happy that your life is tied to mine. I don’t need a love song, don’t need a grand display, Just tell me the words that you keep tucked away. I know you love me, I feel it in your touch, But a little bit of tenderness in words would mean so much. I know who I am, and I know what I’m worth, I just want to hear it from the man I love most on earth. [Outro - Soft Piano, Intimate Vocal] Just tell me.
