Tell Her About It — Billy Joel

Listen boy Don't want to see you let a good thing Slip away

You know I don't like watching Anybody make the same mistakes I 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

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 You'll never let her go 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

Listen boy It's not automatically a certain guarantee To insure 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 Though you may not have done anything Will that be a consolation when she's gone

Listen boy It's 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 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 Tell her about it The girl don't want to wait too long You got to tell her 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
