Let a good thing slip away

Slip away you know I don't like watching anybody

Make the same mistakes I've 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

Oh 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

Never let her

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

Oh

Listen boy it's not automatically a certain guarantee

Certain guarantee

To ensure 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 every day 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

And though you may not have done anything will that be

A consolation when she's gone

Listen boy is 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

You know she put her trust

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 about it

The girl don't want to wait too long

You got to tell her about it 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

You got to tell her about it

You got to tell tell tell her about it

Got to tell them all about it

Got to tell them all about it
