Tell Her About It

Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away (Slip away)

You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I have made

She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you

But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do

Oh, listen boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control

You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul

You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go (You know you'll never let her go)

But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know

Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel

Give her every reason to accept that you're for real

Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams

Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means

Listen boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee (Certain guarantee)

To ensure yourself you've got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone, you're always insecure

And there's only one good way to reassure

Tell her about it, let her know how much you care

When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were there

Tell her about it, every day before you leave

Pay her some attention, give her something to believe

'Cause now and then, she'll get to worrying

Just because you haven't spoken for so long

And though you may not have done anything

Will that be a consolation when she's gone?

Listen boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes (A man who's made)

Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes

She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you (You know she put her trust in you)

But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do

Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel

Give her every reason to accept that you're for real

Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams

Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means

Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now

Just tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long

You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong

You got to tell her about it, before it gets too late

You've got to tell her about it

You know the girl don't want to wait

You got to tell her about it

You got to tell, tell, tell her about it

Now, tell her about it
