Tell Me Lyrics

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Woo-hoo tell me, tell me, tell me
Woo-hoo tell me, tell me, tell me
I know love ain’t always free
Got a mind that I just can’t read
So you gotta-gotta-gotta tell me

[Verse 1: Karan Aujla]
Tenu suit main Lahore toh leaea je pa laengi ta dasde ni (Tell me)
Je nai ready aje koi gal nai je naa laengi ta dasde ni (Tell me)
Tenu suit main Lahore toh leaea je pa laengi ta dasde ni (Tell me)
Asi kar dea dilon gorie je chah laengi ta dasde ni

[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder, Karan Aujla]
I’m not tryna say it, tryna tell you what it is
Wanna give you everything but don’t be on the fence
Naazuk ae dil sadda todi na dekhi
Pyaar nal lai aea suit mohdi na dekhi

(Oo-Hoo) Hun teri haan ya naa dass de
(Oo-Hoo) Pa laengi jaan ya naa dass de dasde

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]

[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
(Gotta tell me, gotta tell me, gotta tell me)
So you gotta-gotta-gotta tell me
(Gotta tell me, gotta tell me, gotta tell me)

[Verse 3: Karan Aujla]
Tere bulla kulo puch eh sawaal tere naal tera yaar khada jachda ke nai das
Tere kanna nal sune eh jawab sade naam to zamana sara machda ke nai das
Mainu rakhla tu naal jiven rakh di ramaal ya main ban jan taveet teri hikk da
Asi kude teri lor ch magan asi mann de shagan teri maari hoi chhikk da

[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
(Gotta tell me, gotta tell me, gotta tell me)
So you gotta-gotta-gotta tell me
(Gotta tell me, gotta tell me, gotta tell me)
So you gotta-gotta-gotta tell me

Woo-hoo tell me, tell me, tell me
