You tell on yourself,
By the clothes you wear, uh huh,
By the way you fix your hair,
I can know what youâ??re thinking,
Without you saying a word,
Itâ??s all in the way you walk.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you tell on yourself,
By the way you dress,
You donâ??t want me to judge you,
But these walls are caving in,
You canâ??t stop yourself from falling,
And youâ??ve got to give in.

You tell on yourself,
By the people you chill with,
By the tone of voice you use,
You canâ??t cry out,
You know that you canâ??t hide from it,
You donâ??t even have to say a word.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you tell on yourself,
By the way you dress,
You donâ??t want me to judge you,
But these walls are caving in,
You canâ??t stop yourself from falling,
And youâ??ve got to give in.

You tell on yourself,
By the people you love,
You tell on yourself,
By the things that you do,
And they way people want you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you tell on yourself,
By the way you dress,
You donâ??t want me to judge you,
But these walls are caving in,
You canâ??t stop yourself from falling,
And youâ??ve got to give in.
