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?
