So you say your love's about to end

Say you can't take no more

She's out the door

And you're lookin' for a friend

When I tell you why

I'm just curious why you're furious

Just follow your pride

And look her in the eye



And tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know

Unless you show her what you're feelin'

Tell her you're believin'

Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know you're thinkin' of her

So open up and tell her that you love her



Brother I've been right where you are now

My heart was broke

'Cause I never spoke

Those words out loud

But I've learned my lesson well

And now every night before I close my eyes

I look at my woman and I ask myself

Did you...



And tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know

Unless you show her what you're feelin'

Tell her you're believin'

Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know you're thinkin' of her

So open up and tell her that you love her



Oh tell her that you love her



And tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know

Unless you show her what you're feelin'

Tell her you're believin'

Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know you're thinkin' of her

So open up and tell her that you love her



Oh yes... tell her that you love her
