She knows it's when I'm lonesome
She cries when I'm sad
She's up in the good time.
She's down in the back.
Whenever I'm 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 of things that I want to 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'm away
How can I say it's you I think of?
Every single night and day
But when is it easy
Telling someone we're through.
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?
