"Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, featured on their 1964 self-titled album (subtitled and often called England's Newest Hit Makers in the US).
"[2] The Rolling Stones' two previous singles bear out this observation: one had been the Lennon–McCartney-penned "I Wanna Be Your Man" (later recorded by the Beatles as well); another was Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away".
"[4] The song's lyrics are a glimpse of a failed relationship and the singer's attempt to win back the girl's love: I want you back again I want your love again I know you find it hard to reason with me But this time it's different, darling, you'll see Unterberger notes, "When [Jagger and Richards] began to write songs, they were usually not derived from the blues, but were often surprisingly fey, slow, Mersey-type pop numbers ... 'Tell Me' was quite acoustic-based, with a sad, almost dispirited air.
[5] The full-length (4:05 or 4:06) recording of this piano version, which appeared on the standard UK LP after the mistake was corrected, has an abrupt ending before the performance of the song finishes.
In The Netherlands, the full-length recording with the abrupt ending was released as a single in October 1964, peaking at number 3 in the music charts.
The "Tell Me" single was re-released on various Rolling Stones compilation albums, including Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass), More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies), and Singles Collection: The London Years.
