     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
