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
|
You'll never let her go
|
But that'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 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
|
|
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
|
|
Tell her about it
|
Tell her how you feel right now
|
Tell her about it
|
The girl don't want to wait too long
|
You got to tell her about it
|
Tell her now and you won'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 don't want
|
To wait - you got to
|
Tell her about it
|
|
