Tell me, if you still care
Tell me, if you still care

Let me know
Have you started to lose your love for me
And if so
Will you still continue to be on my side

Tell me, if you still care
About me (Tell me that you care)
Tell me, if you still care
About me

Must we both, go on being confused 
And placing blame
My heart knows, that you're my number one
Do you feel the same way too

Tell me, if you still care
About me (Tell me)
Tell me, if you still care 
(Will you still care for me baby)
Oh yes

Yes, I know, that I still love you
You're forever on my mind
And it's so hard to let go, what I feel for you
You blow my mind
But you captured all my love with your sweetness
And you gave it to me baby, from your heart
Oh, so if we really care for each other
Then tell me baby, why are we apart, yeah

Tell me, if you still care 
(That you still care)
About me (About me)
Tell me (I want to know) if you still care
Do you feel the same way too 
(Do you feel the same way baby, for me)

Tell me, if you still care 
(Will you hold me and will you kiss me)
About me (Can you tell me)
Tell me, if you still care 
(Will you hold me and will you kiss me baby)
(Can you tell me) Do you feel the same way too 

Tell me, if you still care
Listen to my heart beat
When you hold me, when you kiss me
(If you still care) Can you tell me
