Got me in my feelings
What the hell you doing to me?
I can’t help what I’m feeling
Yeah, ’cause I’m fallin’ down like a summer rain
People askin’ what we doin’, I don’t say a thing
Can we keep it to ourselves like if it’s all the same?
‘Cause if they know what we know
That’s when everything’s gonna change
Should we tell ’em?
It might be too much for them, they might get jealous, hey
The way that you’re lifting me up, feel like heaven
I know they can see it, I know they can tell it
So we ain’t gotta tell ’em (Shh)
We ain’t gotta tell
No, tell ’em, tell ’em, no (Tell ’em)
Tell ’em nothing, no, we tell ’em, tell ’em nothing (Tell ’em)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em, tell (Tell ’em)
(We ain’t gotta tell them, babe, gotta tell them, babe)
Ain’t no reason why we need to tell nobody
We don’t gotta give it any labels
Cards already on the table
And we don’t need opinions in our head space
You and me already in a good place
Like whoa, stay, let’s keep it this way
People askin’ what we doin’, I don’t say a thing, no
Can we keep it to ourselves like if it’s all the same?
‘Cause if they know what we know
That’s when everything’s gonna change
Should we tell ’em?
It might be too much for them, they might get jealous, hey
The way that you’re lifting me up, feel like heaven
I know they can see it, I know they can tell it
So we ain’t gotta tell ’em (Shh)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em
No, tell ’em, tell ’em, no (Tell ’em)
Tell, tell ’em nothing, no, we tell ’em, tell ’em nothing (Tell ’em)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em, tell (Tell ’em)
(We ain’t gotta tell them, babe, gotta tell them, babe)
You could be my dirty little secret
And you could be my everything I needed
And you could be my dirty little secret (Oh)
Nobody has to know (Shh)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em
No, babe, tell ’em, tell ’em, tell ’em, no (Tell ’em)
Tell ’em nothing, no, we tell ’em, tell ’em nothing (Tell ’em)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em nothing, babe
We ain’t gotta tell ’em, baby, no (Tell ’em)
We ain’t gonna tell nothin’ no more
We ain’t gonna tell nothin’ no more
We ain’t gotta tell ’em
Tell ’em nothing, no, tell ’em, tell ’em, no (Tell ’em)
(We ain’t got to tell them nothing, ain’t got to tell)
You know, you know
Tell ’em nothing, no, we tell ’em, tell ’em nothing (Tell ’em)
(We ain’t got to tell them nothing, ain’t got to tell)
We ain’t gotta tell ’em, tell (Tell ’em)
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
(And what if we)
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
(Kept this between you and me?)
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
(We ain’t got to tell nobody, no)
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
(Tell nobody, no)
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
Ain’t got to tell, we ain’t got to tell them nothing
Ain’t got to tell ’em nothing, ain’t got to tell
We ain’t got to tell ’em nothing, ain’t got to tell
We ain’t got to tell ’em nothing, ain’t got to tell
We ain’t got to tell ’em nothing
Keeping Love Under Wraps
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Tell Em” dives deep into the thrill and complexity of secret romance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people caught in the rush of newfound feelings, wanting to protect their connection from outside scrutiny. The repeated refrain—”We ain’t gotta tell ’em”—highlights a desire to keep their love private, away from the pressures and opinions of the world. This sense of intimacy is heightened by the playful insistence on secrecy, suggesting that sharing their truth might change everything between them. Carpenter captures the excitement and vulnerability of hiding a special bond, making listeners reflect on the personal boundaries we set in relationships.
