THE HOLLIES lyrics - Tell Me To My Face

(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)



Will you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door, you're not deceiving me

I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

Sending round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now



Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place



If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad

To think about the time I'll have to go

Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay

Cause I know just what I will say to you



Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place



Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Tell me to my face you're leaving now



Though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door, you're not deceiving me

I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

Sending round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now



Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place
