You got something that's on your mind.
It's been bothering you for quite some time.
If you tell me what the trouble is,
Maybe I can see you through this mess.

If you got to be that way
To live again for another day.
But you got to tell me
Come on and tell me; come on and tell me.

But if you let me lend a hand
Then maybe I can understand.
You know the troubles that I've been through
To help me find a way for you.

Keep it to yourself will do no good.
I'd like to help you if I only could.
But you got to tell me
Come on and tell me; come on and tell me.

You got something that you want to say,
But I'll leave it up to you.
You only have to let me know.
That's all you gotta do, that's all gotta you
That's all you gotta do.

So come on give it one more time
There's a brighter world waiting outside.
People never seem to be so mean,
If you tell me what you really mean.

You can make it though another day.
Maybe then you'll find a way.
But you got to tell me,
Come on and tell me
It's right! Tell me.
