"'No Tell Lover'" is a song written by Peter Cetera, Lee Loughnane, and Danny Seraphine for the group Chicago and recorded for their album 'Hot Streets' (1978), with Cetera and Donnie Dacus singing lead vocals. The second single released from that album, it reached No. 14 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart and No. 5 on the adult contemporary chart.
'Cash Box' called it a "classy pop single" that tells "a sultry tale of masked love."
After "No Tell Lover", Chicago failed to chart a single in the U.S. top 50 for nearly four years, finally breaking their slump with the 1982 No. 1 hit, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry".
