Jon B - Tell Me Lyrics






These days I don't know what to do with myself
I ain't even concerned about my health
And I can't even seem to eat
I haven't got a good sleep since the other day
When you went away

These times hurt my soul so bad
Cause you can't seem to let yourself just bounce back
We think too much about the things we said in the past
When we both wasn't thinkin'
And the words came out too fast

If it isn't what you want then
Tell me girl
(My angel why do we fight so much)
If you can't decide right now
Do you need some time
(Do you miss the way we used to kiss
The way we used to touch)
All we do is live in limbo
In and out
(Lately I just don't know)
If this isn't what you want then
Tell me girl

Baby please don't hang up I really need you
But I can't be your man if you cut me down
If you say I'm just a fool
Am I suppose to stick around
And I know I also say hurtful things
Like I don't want you no more
But the truth is I don't know where to go if I walk through that door

And this time
It hurt my soul so bad
Cause I can't let myself just bounce right back
We think way too much 'bout them times in the past
Now I don't know why we can't make the good times last

I learn too much about the way I feel
When you're gone away
And I can't see you
(Ooh you're all I really want)
But I don't want to fight no more

If it isn't what you want then
Tell me girl
(My angel why do we fight so much)
If you can't decide right now
Do you need some time
(Do you miss the way we used to kiss
The way we used to touch)
Lately all we do is live in limbo
In and out
(Lately I just don't know)
If this isn't what you want then
Tell me girl

If it isn't what you want then
Tell me girl
(My angel why do we fight so much)
If you can't decide right now
Do you need some time
(Do you miss the way we used to kiss
The way we used to touch)
Lately all we do is live in limbo
In and out
(Lately I just don't know)
If this isn't what you want then
Tell me girl

[Spoken]
I know we said a lot of things we didn't mean
But I need you to tell me
What you want

If this isn't what you want girl
If it's not what you want
Ain't no, ain't no reason to bother yourself baby

    The soul of a man, the soul of a woman, Jon has the ability to reach the heights sensuality, so pleasing so sexy, the us didn't treat him right, God bless you j wherever you may be... Great music 2019

    C.... M....

    Cynthia Miller Jon B is still making music he never stopped just after pleasures u like album, he had to go independent once beyonce father’s label didn’t broadcast him. After the lately song on stronger every day album they didn’t give him air time on other songs. He’s been in the independent scene since then with his own record company vibezelect records. His album helpless romantic was his first independent album. Then comfortable swagg, and bsides. His latest album called Understand is current in production. He had two singles out now on that album called understand with Donell Jones and the other song is called Priceless check him out on jonbworld.com

    He don’t get air play nowadays but these songs were dope I think this one came out like 2010ish

  8. F.... G....

    This song's as deep as the Mariana Trench. Damn.

  9. B.... H....

    A quintessential late 1990s to early 2000s era love song. Jon B deserved better than what he got from his record company, the Edmonds's, and distributors back then. From what I hear and read about Jon B, he's a VERY nice guy who is about his music, authenticity, and other good traits. Why do fucked up things happen to good people? B should be still recording music, being a judge on singing shows, and etc.

  10. V.... J....

    s.... ....

    Thank you for posting....great imagery for a great song.

  28. A.... B....

    Jon B & Robin Thicke are real smooth cats, but Justin Timberlake not even close!

    A.... B....

    +Art Crazy With all due respect JT is a poser compared to those guys. Not even in the same arena.

    A.... B....

    +Jon B Smooth have y'all heard Justin new ish? now he's hot the rock element in there. I liked him in nsync but I don't care for his music much these days at all.

    A.... B....

    I like some of his songs and he seems like a cool cat and all. Plus I completely got his back against the hate spewed by Jesse Williams' crew. But lyrically and musically he isn't at JB's or RT's level. That's just a fact.

  29. m.... ....

    Well done. This video is on point. 👌 I'm I'm love with this song and the other Jon b song on this album "inside". This song is so relatable. Love the melody and the hook. ❤

  30. g.... ....

    Someone has to say it.  This video was really well done. Excellent edits!

  31. r.... ....

    I HAVE LOVED JON B SINCE BONAFIDE..LOVE THIS ALBUM AS WELL. ITS SAD HE DIDN'T GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVED..MAN THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TOO..

  32. r.... ....

    I HAVE LOVED JON B SINCE BONAFIDE..LOVE THIS ALBUM AS WELL. ITS SAD HE DIDN'T GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVED..MAN THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TOO..

    r.... ....

    hell yeah they don't

  33. A.... F....

    I LUV DIS SONG !!!!!!!

  34. J.... B....

    This album didn't get the love it deserved. I personally think it was Jon B's finest effort. Many people including some of my friends were like its "Don't Talk plus a bunch of filler". Because that's the way it was marketed. Gems like this track were completely overlooked - listen to the lyrics and the delivery they're stupendous. You can feel his emotion and soul in this song. 

    J.... B....

    Don't Talk was what brought me in. Tell Me is what made me stay.

    J.... B....

    Your spot on, hands down, his best pure album!!!!

    J.... B....

    weak production and marketing. at one point, Beyonce's father was managing him.

    Mr. Knowles was too busy chasing ass to really give this guy any type of real support.

    JB is one of the best thought. every album top notch, doing it his way.

    J.... B....

    Weak Production???? The entire album is classic, Jon.B produces most of his work anyway, never heard a bad song produced or song by Jon.B

  35. A.... W....

    Ok Ladies For U Next

  36. A.... F....

    luv this song !!!!

  37. B.... P....

    this my shit!

  38. D.... R....

    Tune woooiiiiiiiii

  39. D.... R....

    Uum damn this my track

  40. H.... ....

    Absolutely LOVE Jon B! People don't realize that he's still making music & his new stuff is just as amazing...better actually.

  41. d.... ....

    I dont think the Pleasures U Like cd will ever get old. Ive had mine since it came out...its a classic

    d.... ....

    danigirl562 I had to get the album three times cuz I played it so much, classic!!!!

  42. D.... R....

    yea this song goes. it's off the PLEASURES YOU LIKE album 2001 ain't that some shit. I remember bumping this song in Sophmore english class! lol

  43. m.... ....

    Tell meee girl Ooo ooo

  47. E.... ....

    Listening to this at 2 am in the morning, love this song

  48. T.... ....

    Very well done, most impressive. Hard to beleive this track is 13 years old. Some music is just timeless.

  49. a.... ....

    Great song ,take me back to my living in Bronx days and moving to pa , the good old days

  50. T.... M....

    Omg. I forgot this song. It use too be one of my favorites. Riding in the car with the windows down blasting this song.

  51. C.... ....

    great quality, nice upload

  52. B.... ....

    Now that truth be told, former Epic/Sony executive, Polly Anthony, undermined Jon's career. Unfortunately, just as Jon was ready to jump ship and join the new Dreamworks Records team with a lucrative contract, who but Polly shows up as a new hire. Jon was having none of it. He then was sought by Matthew knowles at Sanctuary Records Urban. On paper, not a bad move. In reatity, almost as bad as working with Polly again. He produced one of his finet albums in "Stronger Everyday" !

  53. B.... ....

    Like the poster below me, I've been in heavy Jon B. land listening to all of his albums and watching the various, but not enough, YouTube clips on him. Jon has 1 Double Platinum album in "Cool Relax", Platinum in "Bonafide", his fine debut and the stupdefying Gold in " Pleasures U Like" which Epic/Sony in their infinite wisdom abandoned after one Top 3 single in "Don't Talk". That didn't derail Jon, in fact, he returned with arguably his best album in "Stronger Everyday".

  54. p.... ....

    Like this sng a lot. I think about when Seal and Heidi got divorced when i hear this song. It's very soothing song to drive to.

  55. N.... M....
