*Talking*
|
Yo heh heh tell him it's like uhh you know uhh
|
*Singing*
|
Sweet sweet tell him
|
|
Let me be patient let me be kind
|
Make me unselfish without being blind
|
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
|
And endure what comes
|
Cause he's all that I got and
|
tell him...
|
|
Chorus
|
Tell him I need him [yeah]
|
Tell him I love him [tell him]
|
And it'll be alright
|
*Background singing* Telll himmm be alright be alright
|
Tell him tell him I need him
|
Tell him I love him
|
It'll be alright
|
|
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
|
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
|
I can give away everything I possess
|
But left without love then I have no happiness
|
I know I'm imperfect [I know I'm imperfect]
|
& not without sin [& not without sin]
|
But now that I'm older all childish things end
|
and tell him...
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Bridge
|
I'll never be jealous
|
And I won't be too kind
|
Cause love is not boastful
|
Oooh and loveis not loud
|
Tell him I need him
|
Tell him I love him
|
Everything's gonna be alright [w/ adlibs]
|
Oooh oooh yeah yeah aww yeah
|
|
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
|
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
|
See what we now know is nothing compared
|
to the love that was shown when our lives were spared
|
and tell him...
|
|
Chorus w/ adlibs til fade
