How can I tell her
She knows when I’m lonesome She cried when I’m sad She’s up in the good times She’ s down in the bad Whenever I’m discouraged She knows just what to do But girl, she doesn’t know about you I can tell her my troubles She makes them all seem right I can make up excuses Not to hold her at night We can talk of tomorrow I’ll tell her things that I want to do But girl, how can I tell her about you How can I tell her about you Girl, please tell me what to do Everything seems right whenever I’m with you So girl, won’t you tell me How to tell her about you How can I tell her I don’t miss her whenever I’m away How can I say it’s you and I think ofevery single night and day But when is it easy telling someone we’re through Ah girl, help me tell her about you
