she knows when i am lonesome 
she cries when i am sad 
she's up in the good times 
she's down in the bad 
whenever i am discouraged 
she knows just what to do 
but girl 
she doesn't know about you 
i can tell her my troubles 
she makes them all seem right 
i can make up excuses 
not to hold her at night 
we can talk of tomorrow 
i'll tell her things that i wanna do 
but girl 
how can i tell her about you 
how can i tell her about you 
girl please tell me what to do 
everything seems right 
whenever i'm with you 
so girl won't you tell me 
how to tell her about you 
how can i tell her i don't miss her 
whenever i am away 
how can i say it's you i think of 
every single night and day 
but when is it easy telling someone the truth 
oh girl help me tell her about you 
how can i tell her about you 
girl please tell me what to do 
everything seems right 
whenever i'm with you 
so girl won't you tell me 
how to tell her about you
