She knows when I am lonesome

She cries when I am sad

She's up in the good times

She's down in the bad

Whenever I am 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 wanna 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 am away

How can I say it's you I think of

Every single night and day

But when is it easy telling someone the truth

Oh girl, help me 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.
