Lyrics
Yo
Tell him, mh (ooh)
It's like, uh
You know, uh
Sweet, sweet
Sweet (tell him)
Uh
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 (uh)
'Cause he's all that I got and tell him
Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him, yeah)
And it'll be alright (it'll be alright)
Tell him
Tell him I need him (tell him, uh)
Tell him I love him (be alright)
(Tell him I love him)
It'll be alright
Now I may have faith (I may have faith)
To make mountains fall (to make mountains fall)
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
I can give away (I can give away)
Everything I possess (yo, uh)
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect (I know I'm imperfect)
And not without sin (and not without sin, uh)
But now that I'm older all childish things end
And tell him (tell him)
Tell him I need him (tell him I need)
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright (it'll be alright)
Tell him, tell him I need him (tell him, tell him)
(Be alright) tell him I love him
(Tell him)
It'll be alright (ooh, yeah)
I'll never be jealous (uh, I'll never be jealous)
And I won't be too proud
'Cause love is not boastful (no)
Ooh, and love is not loud (no, no)
Tell him I need him (tell him I need him)
Tell him I love him (tell him I love him)
Everything is gonna (everything)
Is gonna be alright (everything)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright, oh)
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Now I may have wisdom (I may have wisdom)
And knowledge on Eaarth
But if I speak wrong
Ooh, then what is it worth? (What is it worth? Nothing)
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared
And tell him (tell him)
Tell him I need him (tell him, ooh)
Tell him I love him (love him)
And it'll be alright (it'll be alright)
Ohh, tell him ((tell him)
Tell him I need him (I need you)
Tell him I love him (be alright)
It'll be alright, ohh (be alright, it's gonna be alright)
Tell him (it's gonna be alright in the morning)
That I need him (in the afternoon) (be alright)
(I need him, uh) ohh
(Be alright) it'll
It'll be alright (yeah, it'll be alright, see)
(Tell him) it'll be alright, see
Yeah, when the morning comes (be alright)
When the, when the, when the evening comes (be alright)
(Tell him) ohh, in the nighttime
(Be alright) in the morning
(Be alright) in the evening, baby
(Tell him) ohh, tell him
Yeah (be alright)
