Tell Her About It Songtext
von Billy Joel

Whooo-hooo-hooo
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Listen boy
I don′t want to see you let a good thing
Slip away (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

Oh, 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
And you'll never let her go
(You′ll never, 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

Whooo-hooo-hooo
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
(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
And 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
(You know 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)
Just tell her about it (Tell her about it)
The girl don't want to wait too long (Tell her about it)
You got to tell her about it (Tell her about it)
Tell her now and you won′t go wrong (Tell her about it)

You got to tell her about it (Tell her about it)
Before it gets too late (Tell her about it)
You got to tell her about it (Tell her about it)
You know the girl don't want to wait (Tell her about it)
You got to tell her about it
