Tell Her About It

Listen boy

Don't want to see you let a good thing

Slip away

You know I don't like watching

Anybody make the same mistakes

I 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

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

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

To insure 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

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

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

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

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 got to tell her about it

You know the girl don't want

To wait--you got to

Tell her about it
