Listen boy I 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
and 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, everyday
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
Just 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
