Yo heh heh tell him it's like uhh you know uhh Sweet sweet tell him
Let me be patient let me be kind Make me unselfish without being blind Though I may suffer I'll envy it not And endure what comes Cause he's all that I got and tell him...
Tell him I need him (yeah) Tell him I love him (tell him) And it'll be alright [Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright Tell him tell him I need him Tell him I love him It'll be alright
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all I can give away everything I possess But left without love then I have no happiness I know I'm imperfect (I know I'm imperfect) & not without sin (& not without sin) But now that I'm older all childish things end and tell him...
Tell him I need him (yeah) Tell him I love him (tell him) And it'll be alright [Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright Tell him tell him I need him Tell him I love him It'll be alright
[Bridge] I'll never be jealous And I won't be too kind Cause love is not boastful Oooh and loveis not loud Tell him I need him Tell him I love him Everything's gonna be alright [w/ adlibs] Oooh oooh yeah yeah aww yeah
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth But if I speak wrong then what is it worth? See what we now know is nothing compared to the love that was shown when our lives were spared and tell him...
Tell him I need him (yeah) Tell him I love him (tell him) And it'll be alright [Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright Tell him tell him I need him Tell him I love him It'll be alright
