Listen boy
donand't want to see you let a good thing
slip away
You know i donand't like watching
anybody make the same mistakes
i made
Sheand's a real nice girl
and sheand's always there for you
but a nice girl wouldnand't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
iand'm sure that you think you got it all
under control
You donand't want somebody telling you
the way to stay in someoneand's soul
Youand're a big boy now
youand'll never let her go
but thatand'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 youand'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
itand's not automatically a certain guarantee
to insure yourself
youand've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
youand're always insecure
and thereand's only one good way
to reassure
Tell her about it
let her know how much you care
when she canand'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
sheand'll get to worrying
just because you havenand't spoken
for so long
though you may not have done anything
will that be a consolation when sheand's gone
Listen boy
itand's good information from a man
whoand's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
could be the difference that it makes
Sheand's a trusting soul
sheand's put her trust in you
but a girl like that wonand't tell you
what you should do
Tell her about it
tell her everything you feel
give her every reason
to accept that youand'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 donand't want to wait too long
you got to tell her about it
tell her now and you wonand'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 donand't want
to wait--you got to
tell her about it
