LISTEN BOY I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU LET A GOOD THING SLIP AWAY
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE WATCHING ANYBODY MAKE
THE SAME MISTAKES I'VE MADE
SHE'S A REAL NICE GIRL AND SHE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU
BUT A NICE GIRL WOULDN'T TELL WHAT YOU SHOULD DO, OH


LISTEN BOY I'M SURE THAT YOU THINK YOU GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTROL
YOU DON'T WANT SOMEBODY TELLIN' YOU
THE WAY TO STAY IN SOMEONE'S SOUL
YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW AND YOU'LL NEVER LET HER GO
BUT THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF THING SHE OUGHT TO KNOW


TELL HER ABOUT IT, TELL HER EVRYTHING 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, EV'RY DAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE
PAY HER SOME ATTENTION, GIVE HER SOMETHING TO BELIEVE


'COS NOW AN' THEN SHE'LL GET TO WORRYING
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SPOKEN FOR SO LONG
ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING
WILL THAT BE A CONSOLATION WHEN SHE'S GONE


LISTEN BOY HERE'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 ALL HER TRUST IN YOU
BUT A GIRL LIKE THAT WON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD DO


TELL HER ABOUT IT, TELL HER EVRYTHING 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 TO LONG,
YA GOTTA TELL HER ABOUT IT, TELL HER NOW AND YOU WON'T GO WRONG
YA GOTTA, 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 GOTTA TELL, TELL,
TELL HER ABOUT IT, TELL HER ABOUT IT WOH
TELL HER, TELL HER, TELL HER ABOUT IT WOH
TELL HER
