Listen boy
Dont want to see you let a good thing
Slip away

You know I dont like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made

Shes a real nice girl
And shes always there for you
But a nice girl wouldnt tell you what you should do

Listen boy
Im sure that you think you got it all
Under control

You dont want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someones soul

Youre a big boy now
Youll never let her go
But thats 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 youre 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
Its not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
Youve got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone
Youre always insecure
And theres only one good way
To reassure

Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she cant 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
Shell get to worrying
Just because you havent spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when shes gone

Listen boy
Its good information from a man
Whos made mistakes

Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes

Shes a trusting soul
Shes put her trust in you
But a girl like that wont tell you
What you should do

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that youre 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 dont want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you wont 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 dont want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it
