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 And you'll never let her go But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 1]
