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
