Tell Her About It

Lyrics

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
