About This Song


We were going through a lot when I wrote this.

Feedback Requested


Does it keep you interested? Even though it's kind of simple, does it touch you emotionally? Also, I feel this one could be pretty flexible and work for a variety of genres but any feedback on that would be great as well.

Hi Haydee,

I think this could work well as an R&B song. You know I’m Country minded and in Country we use a lot of imagery.  In R&B songs they often have this approach with many repetitions. The emotionality then comes more from the music and the interpretation.

Tell Me What You Want

Written by Haydee Ahrens

Tell Me What You Want

Tell me…
Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
For you I'd gladly bleed.

I don't know everything,
It's a fact,
But every day with you,
I wish, I wish it would last.
I can't bear it,
If you're hurt in any way,
So I cry out
To God everyday.

Full Chorus:
Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
For you I'd gladly bleed.

I'll love you through the heights,
I'll love you through the depths,
I'll love you through the heights,
Love you through the depths,
Because I am so blessed.

Just be honest,
Just be real,
I can't love you right,
If I don't know exactly how you feel.
You were hurt and demeaned so many ways,
Don't let them hold me back,
From loving you today.

Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
Tell me what you want,
Tell me what you need,
For you I'd gladly bleed.

I'll love you through the heights,
I'll love you through the depths,
I'll love you through the heights,
Love you through the depths,
Because I am so blessed
When you are a mess,
I'll love you with my best,
Because I am so blessed.
When you are a mess,
I'll love with my best,
Because I am so blessed.
