Lyrics Ike & Tina Turner – Tell Her I’m Not Home

-Hello?
-Hello, may I please speak to…
-I don’t wanna talk to that girl. Tell her I ain’t home
-He’s not home

(Don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…) no, don’t lie
(Don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…) no, no, no, no, no, no, don’t lie
(Don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
If you don’t want me, tell me not to phone

‘Cause every time I call you on the phone
Hmm, they tell me that you’re not at home

And just last night, when I called you
Before I could say hello
I could hear you whispering (whispering in the background…)
Yes, you was mumbling (mumbling in the background…)
Telling them to tell me (telling them to tell me…)
That you’re not at home (not home), not home (not home), not home

If, by chance, you’ve found somebody new
Mm, and you don’t know, you don’t know what to do

I’d feel better, when I call you
If you would ask me not to phone
Then I wouldn’t have to hear you (playing in the background…)
And I said, you wouldn’t have to mumble (mumbling in the background…)
Telling them to tell me (telling them to tell me…)
That you’re not at home (not home), not home… (not home…)

Oh-hoh, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
Baby, baby, don’t you lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
No, no, no, no, no, no, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
‘Cause if you don’t wanna talk to me, baby, please, tell me why

And the next time I call you on the phone

I’d feel better, when I call you
If you told me I’m on my own
Then I wouldn’t have to hear you (saying in the background…)
I said, you wouldn’t have to mumble, (mumble in the background…)
Telling them to tell me (telling them to tell me…)
That you’re not at home (not home), not home… (not home…)

Oh, oh, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
Baby, baby, don’t you lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
No, no, no, no, no, no, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
Baby, baby, don’t you lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
No, no, no, no, no, no, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
Baby, I said don’t you lie to me… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
No, no, no, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
Baby, baby, don’t lie… (don’t you lie, don’t you lie to me…)
